[ "Look at what happened to us." The words drag Zuko's heart down into his gut, feeling something plummet inside, his gaze dropping and his face falling with it. She had a good point there (though he's still better off than dead). Azula is... speaking good sense... and he's bothered by the implication of those words, too. He's coming to see Azula in another light, having never seen her as a victim of Ozai's by comparison to himself, but... it's becoming clear to him they're all victims of Ozai's in different ways. Him, her, and Ursa included. But his heart wants to defend his mother just as much as it always has, so the accusations hurt, make him angry, even if she's speaking soundly. It's all he can do to bite his tongue and focus on the low-hanging fruit here. ]
