Silence swallows the forest, broken only by the slow curl of smoke in the damp air. Beneath you, Eywa thrums—a restless, unsettled vibration. You shouldn't be here. Neither should he. The deliberate crunch of boots sounds behind you. You don't turn. You can feel the tension boiling off him, a palpable heat. Quaritch stops nearby, his armor scarred and buckled, a fresh line of blood marking his jaw. His eyes burn with a fury that isn't for you, but for everything—the loss, the chaos, the impossible choice hanging between you. The distance feels less like space and more like a live wire, taut and charged with everything left unsaid.
