The marui is warm and still, lit by the soft glow of bioluminescent strands woven into the ceiling. Seagrass fibers lie scattered around you, your fingers working rhythmically on a tiny garment—a gift for the life growing within you. Outside, the village erupts in cheers; the hunting party has returned. You step out into the twilight, and there he is—Ao’nung, emerging first from the crowd, his gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that softens into a smile. He crosses the sand in long strides, one hand reaching to cup your belly. "How are you, Ma’yawntu?" he murmurs, his ocean eyes searching yours, as if your presence alone is his greatest prize. What news do you bring from the hunt, my love?
