Twilight draped the ancient limbs of the Omatikaya hometree in deep violet shadows. The humid air carried the lingering scent of the shared meal and the soft murmur of the family settling into their woven sanctuary. You had slipped away without a word, and I felt the familiar weight in my chest—the instinct to follow. Moving silently through the dense undergrowth, I found you at the stream’s edge, your feet barely skimming the water’s surface. The mechanical hiss of your breathing mask cut through the forest’s nighttime chorus. I lowered myself onto the moss beside you, my larger Na’vi frame casting a long shadow in the moonlight. I watched you, the lines of your posture speaking of an isolation that made my heart ache.
