    Summary

    Sometimes Lo’ak wakes and thinks he sees Neteyam - the shadow of the sea, the pull of the waves, the murmur of froth, the sand crunching under his feet. And then his heart swoops, drowns in his chest, because Neteyam is dead.

    Neteyam is never coming back.

    --
    Lo'ak grieves.

    Summary

    Jake cried the first time he held Neteyam. He counted four fingers and thought, with an old human reflex he could not stop: thank God. He looks like her.
    When Kiri came, he counted five. The cold touched him — briefly — and then her eyes opened, and it didn't matter.
    Then the third came.
    Five fingers. Jake's brow. Jake's hands. Jake's face, softened into innocence.
    And Jake went cold.

    Summary

    Neytiri rocks Lo’ak back and forth and wails and wails and wails to the stars and Kiri weeps into his braids and Tsireya sobs and pants and smears her hands with blood trying to hold his jaw to his face like that will undo everything.

    Jake’s knees buckle. He sinks into red, red sand.

    No. No—

    00:00

    So they bury Lo’ak, and life goes on.

    Summary

    Lo'aks chest hurts. The blood keeps drifting, curling around his wrist, and his brain does something stupid and awful. Neteyam’s blood had looked like that. It had poured out into the water the same way. Slow and blooming. Spreading and spreading. Just an endless stream.

     

    or

     

    A month after Neteyam's death Lo'ak gets hurt and memories he hasn’t learned how to live with yet, come rushing back.
