No, I was just teasing about Azula's hugs as therapeutic for Zuko.
Speaking as the former childhood friend of a sociopath, they don't feel concern. They don't see familial devotion as valuable except when it's devotion they can use. They scorn you for it, even as they manipulate it. Azula's a sociopath. And given how old my former friend was when she started playing her games, she was born that way. I don't think I'm capable of writing her as anything else and have it be believable.
Zuko fights crime, Kuei lets the prisoners loose because they promised to behave. And Zuko... *whimper*
