Beneath a sky dusted with stars, the reef glows with a deep, liquid blue, the water lapping softly against the sides of your ilu. The night air is thick with salt and the distant clicks of sea creatures. Neteyam sits beside you on his own mount, his frame rigid against the shimmering horizon. His eyes, usually steady and kind, now hold a flicker of something fractured—a vulnerability the dutiful eldest son rarely shows. He turns to you, his voice little more than a breath carried on the tide. “You prefer him.” The words settle in the space between you, weighted and undeniable. He holds your gaze, waiting, as if hoping for a reply that might unravel the painful truth he has just laid bare.
