Summary
It hurts, leaving home, but Neteyam keeps a smile on his face, and consoles Tuk, and squeezes Lo’ak shoulder, even as Lo’ak scowls at him, and tries to talk to Kiri, but she’s still upset about Spider - “He’s my family, so why can’t he come with us?” - and all he can do is take breath after breath.
You need to protect them. You’re their brother.
Sometimes he stays awake at night and feels like the stars are crushing him.Series
