An inexplicable sense of panic settles on him at the concept of proof. Proof means she's telling the truth. Proof means that he's really dead, that Azula killed him, that he failed again. Proof means that there are no more airbenders, that the comet came and went, that Ozai won and Katara and Sokka and Toph all were probably hunted down like animals for their affiliation with him.
So it's kind of a struggle to keep his voice even and his heart from pounding out of his chest when he says,] You're not the Avatar because I'm not dead yet.
