It takes place during the childhood of Asami Sato in Republic City.
Overview
A young Asami Sato visits her mother Yasuko's engineering office as she plans to build a new skyscraper in Republic City.
Synopsis
Yasuko Sato is sitting at a desk in her office, working in an engineering project. She is joined by a young Asami Sato, who asks about her mother's blueprints. She proceeds to explain it is a drawing of a building she wants to construct. When Asami asks how skyscrapers are built, Yasuko shows her daughter the process with a small scale model of notecards, making her build a little tower with them as she explains the construction process and the role of metalbenders, firebenders, and nonbenders.
Asami is marveled at how the notecards "story" is able to hold a heavier object on top of it. When Yasuko tells her that she is in the process of building Future Industries' school of engineering, Asami expresses not only her desire to attend but to also help build the school, which Yasuko happily accepts.
