Mako doesn't know the situation, exactly: maybe it's true, maybe Ryan really did blow up his life for the sake of pride and ego, but something tells Mako that isn't the whole story. Ego's one thing, and pride a powerful motivator, but Mako's done shit like that, and it was more about trying to do the right thing. Be good, while fucking it up immensely.

When, uh. When Korra and I broke up—did I tell you we dated? It didn't... go well. We're better friends. But I broke up with her at the worst possible time, when she really needed support, and I ended up driving her straight to her shitty manipulative uncle who was trying to start a civil war. You don't... make good choices when stuff like that happens. Generally.
