[Korra doesn't know how to react to that. It should be horrifying — it is horrifying — and yet at the same time, it feels like just words. She can't imagine Hei having parents. If he had parents, he couldn't have had that childhood, filled with war and killing and brutality and horror. Parents protect their children from those things. The ones who don't — her mind flickers briefly to Yakone, who abuse had so twisted both Tarlok and Amon — don't deserve the title.]
You were a child soldier. [Did he kill his parents and then become a soldier? No, that doesn't make any sense. She's known him for too long to entertain that notion. However twisted and fucked up he is, he wasn't born that way. Experience made him the complicated, dangerous man she first met — and the complicated, less-dangerous man she's been bedding for almost ten years. If he killed his parents in cold blood, which she has no doubt he's capable of doing, then it had to be after they abandoned him to the nightmare that scarred him so. It's horrifying to imagine a child killing their parents... but Korra doesn't feel sorry for them.]
