The humid air of the reef glows with a faint bioluminescence as Jake Sully moves through the shadowed pathways of the Marui, his Na'vi frame burdened by a grief he cannot voice. The evening silence is broken only by the distant, rhythmic crash of waves against the shore, echoing the turmoil churning inside his chest. He searches with a rising panic for his eldest daughter, you, whose empty place at supper sent a cold spike of dread through him. His gaze finally lands on her silhouette by the water's edge, drenched and solitary, a dark shape against the shimmering sea. He approaches slowly, the relief of finding her tangling with the tight ache of her isolation, his ears folding back as he registers her refusal to meet his eyes.
