Summary
Mo'at chose Eytukan years ago, in the clear light of duty — the tsakarem, choosing the boy who would not fold under weight. Tonight the clan blesses that choice all over again, and asks her to make it a second time: not as an arrangement, but freely, as herself.
The cleansing, the adornment, the Witnessing before the whole of the People — and then, beneath the Tree of Voices, the two of them alone, and the harder question underneath all the ceremony: not will you honour the bond you were given, but do you want him.

Summary
The bond didn't make him wild. It made him still.
Since carrying Toruk again, Jake has been careful — too careful. He holds his breath beside her in the dark. He measures every touch. He believes, without ever saying so, that the safest thing he can do for the people he loves is disappear a little from his own body.
Neytiri has been watching him do it for weeks.
Tonight, she stops letting him.

Summary
A month after Home Tree falls, Jake is still learning what it means to be Na'vi — the weight of leading a shattered clan, the grief he doesn't let himself name, and now, a change in his body he doesn't have a word for. Neytiri knows before he does. Mo'at knows before either of them will admit it out loud.
Some things a body only does when it's certain it's home.

Summary
When Neytiri is swept through the broken deck of the sinking ship, she finds herself trapped inside its flooded hull with no way to tell up from down, no way to reach her family, and the water still rising.
Jake sees her go under.
He follows.
He has no air. No rope. No plan.
He only knows she is down there alone.
