Koko asking Rangi about her beginning of love story with Kyoshi.
(Teenage Koko and middle-aged Rangi)
A memory of Kyoshi, Rangi, and Koko in Yokoya for summer vacation.
so uh…..remember how Rangi said ‘I’m nothing to you’ after she found out about her mother being used as bait situation?
I just think the choice of words is so silly and fun because even when Rangi’s enraged and her mother’s life is in danger she could never say to Kyoshi “YOU are nothing to ME”. Usually in this scenario, Rangi saying she doesn’t care for Kyoshi makes more sense especially because of how hurtful it is. Instead, Rangi decided to insist Kyoshi shouldn’t acknowledge her existence anymore. Man she couldn’t even lie.
There is genuinely nothing Kyoshi could have done to make Rangi love her any less like how do we move on-
kyoshi if she listened to her intrusive thoughts

Saw something that said Kyoshi and Kuruk likely ended up with more of a brother/sister relationship than a mentor/student one and I’m here for it:
Kyoshi, spiritually contacting Kuruk: holy shit dude you’re not gonna believe this
Kuruk: girl what’s going on out there?
Kyoshi: okay so basically Hei-Ran is so obviously into this Water Tribe chick right? So being the amazing future daughter in law that I am, I set them up
Kuruk, gasping: you didn’t!
Kyoshi: I totally did. It worked, as I knew it would because I know a useless bisexual when I see one. However, it seems that Rangi is unaware of the fact that they’re dating
Kuruk, cracking up: that’s adorable! Oh, that kid always had a bit of issues trying to find out who likes who
Kyoshi: I know right? Good thing I’m so perceptive!
Kuruk, snorting: yeah okay
Kyoshi, frowning: why did you say it like that?
Kuruk: you are probably then most dense woman alive
Kyoshi, offended: I am not! I am so aware of stuff!
Kuruk, deadpanned: Rangi had a crush on you literally the entire time you guys lived in the mansion
Kyoshi: that-that is a lie! There’s no way! She did not give me a single hint!
Kuruk: a month after you moved into the mansion, Rangi spent the entire day glued to your side because you mentioned you had a nightmare
Kyoshi, blushing: she was being a good friend
Kuruk: she was holding your hand the entire time. When have you seen Rangi initiate physical contact with anyone else in general?
Kyoshi:……………….if you weren’t dead already I’d punch you so hard you’d be sent to the spirit realm
[Kyoshi's trying to tell Rangi and Hei-Ran about Kuruk's troubles with spirits, but she accidently mentions he was deeply in love with Hei-Ran]
Hei-Ran: So, you're telling me you spent your time communing with the past Avatars discussing Kuruk's man-whoring?
Kyoshi, blushing: It was relevant...
Hei-Ran: How?
Kyoshi: Well, there was this poem... That's how Kelsang knew I was the Avatar and ---
Rangi, interrupting: What do you mean?
Hei-Ran: You entered the Avatar State in our battle against Tagaka. That's how we knew.
Kyoshi: You see, no... you know, this is not about the poem!
Rangi: So you did know!
Kyoshi: No! No, I thought the poem was about you!
Hei-Ran: What?
Kyoshi: No, not like that! I thought I'd come up with it!
Rangi: How a poem that was supposedly about me would make Kelsang think you were the Avatar?
Kyoshi, looking at Rangi, then at Hei-Ran, and back at Rangi, blushing intensely and gesturing widely: Well, you two are terribly similar!
Hei-Ran, sighing and pursing her lips: Terribly, indeed...
"Rangi must have lived almost as long as kyoshi and also been staying alive via meditation, kyoshi would have just fallen apart without her"
No, we're missing an angst opportunity here guys
Yes, we all know that Kyoshi would be a mess without her and would probably either neglect herself to the point of dying or kill herself, but you know who else knows this?
Rangi.
I'm picturing Rangi on her deathbed, terrified of this eventuality, with her last breath begging Kyoshi not to die for her, to take care of herself.
Of course even with this, Kyoshi, despairing tries anyways and gets damn close.
But at the last second, she stops. She can hear Rangi almost see her crying in front of her, begging her not to do this.
So she lives, and keeps up her meditation because every morning she can picture Rangi, crying, begging her to keep going. To live for her.
So, over two centuries pass with several attempts, moments she almost gives in, almost let's go. The memory of Rangi stops her each time.
In the end though time takes its toll on her memory, her voice, her face, it all fades away.
Her grief and pain does not, only worsening with the realization she does not remember her love, her joy.
She can't remember her insistence on stupid horse stance training, their kiss on the beach, what made her laugh, what made her cry. Not even what either of those sounded like.
So-at last- when she tries, no voice, no tears, no face comes to stop her, to beg her to fulfill her final wish.
A wish she can't even remember.
