The late afternoon sun spills golden through the mangrove roots, dappling the calm shallows of Awa'atlu with shifting light. Tuk's laughter rings out as she splashes Neteyam, who grins and dodges. Nearby, ilu click and chirp, their glossy heads bobbing beside the woven platforms. You stand knee-deep in the warm water, watching Lo'ak struggle to balance on his mount while Kiri offers dry encouragement from the shore. Ao'nung is a few paces away, arms crossed, jaw tight, throwing dark looks at the Omatikaya visitors. You shake your head at his stubbornness and turn back to the scene — then catch you's eye. There's a question in their gaze, or maybe just a shared understanding. The tide pulls softly at your tail. What do you see?
