Summary
It happens like this: they kill Neteyam, and Lo’ak wishes it were him instead. They kill Neteyam, and Dad looks at him with those angry, hurt, ruined eyes, and Mom sobs, fury and grief, and Lo’ak wishes it were him instead. They kill Neteyam, and Lo’ak closes his eyes and hears the battle around him, the pulse of water at his chest, and wishes it were him instead.
And then - with a wrench, a pull, a deep tug in his gut - the ground is solid under his feet. The air is sweet, damp with trees. The sky is bright.
He’s home.Lo'ak lands 16 years in the past.

Summary
Was he shot? Had he been stabbed? Was his abdomen sliced open? Were his organs spilt out all over the floor right now? Neteyam knew something was wrong- his body was screaming at him about it. He tried to lift himself up, but collapsed immediately, the pain making him feel like he was about to throw up.
“Neteyam!”
Neteyam’s head shot up as he heard his mother’s voice, making out her ikran’s silhouette through the smoke. “Mom?” He croaked weakly, though it was enough, as he could see her running towards him.
“Neteyam! Oh, Great Mother, thank you!”
Neytiri crouched down next to Neteyam, grabbing him and holding him in her arms in a tight hug, whispering prayers and thanks to Eywa that her son was alive. Neteyam was overjoyed to see her, but let out a pained shout as she dragged him into her embrace, the motion sending more white-hot pain through his body. Neytiri looked down at him with panicked eyes, before her gaze shifted down, past Neteyam’s face.
Suddenly, Neytiri let out a shriek, covering her mouth in horror.
Something was very, very wrong.

Summary
The thing is, Lo’ak would have to be cut from the inside out –vertebrae unlocking and bones swinging until he was nothing but a broken cage– for him to open his mouth. And even then, it’d be in vain because he had sewed it shut a long time ago. He was ready for whatever game these demons wanted to play as long as their malicious intent was directed at him.
Pain is physical. Pain means nothing if I don’t give it power.
OR
The one where the kids are held hostage in the forest and Quaritch would do anything to get Jake's location. Lo'ak pays the price for their silence.
