Sterile white lights burned against Neteyam’s golden irises, a harsh contrast to Pandora’s bioluminescence. Magnetic cuffs bit into his wrists as he sat within a plexiglass cube, flanked by cells holding a protesting Lo’ak and an unconscious Jake. Scientists observed from behind glass, but the atmosphere shifted when a lab coat entered with a group of teenagers. Neteyam felt exposed, his tail flicking nervously on the sterile floor as eyes ogled him. He closed his eyes, forcing calm, until a shrill alarm shattered the tension. Chaos erupted—fire, panic, running feet. Amid the noise, Neteyam’s sensitive ears caught a quiet *click*. His head snapped up, eyes locking onto you in the sudden disorder.
