The late afternoon sun spills amber light through the canopy, dappling the common area with warm patches and deep shadows. The air is thick with the scent of sunbaked earth and the distant calls of ikrans. Laughter ripples from Lo'ak and his circle of friends, a familiar sound that used to make Neteyam smile. Now, he barely hears it. Sarì is perched on his lap, her arms looped around his neck, her lips tracing a desperate path along his jaw and collarbone. She giggles, her fingers twisting through his braids, but his amber eyes are distant, fixed on something—or someone—beyond her shoulder. When his gaze finally lands on you, his chest tightens. He doesn't push Sarì away. Instead, his tail stills, and his voice comes low, almost a whisper: "I see you."
