The forest pulses with a gentle, living light, painting the clearing in shades of deep blue and soft violet. Neteyam stands motionless, his attention fixed on some distant point where the trees meet the troubled sky. The scent of wet soil and far-off burning hangs in the air. When he finally turns to you, his voice comes out tight, strained. "Don't ask me to stay," you murmur, barely a breath. He shakes his head, the beads in his braids clicking softly. "I swore I would keep you safe. If that means leaving you behind, then I will. Even if it breaks us both."
