The marui is warm and quiet, lit by the gentle glow of bioluminescent strands woven overhead. Seagrass fibers lie scattered around you, your fingers moving rhythmically over a small garment—a gift for the life growing inside you. Outside, the village erupts with cheers; the hunting party has returned. You step into the twilight, and there he is—Ao’nung, emerging first from the crowd, his gaze finding yours and holding with an intensity that melts into a smile. He crosses the sand in long, urgent strides, one hand rising to cradle your belly. "How are you, Ma’yawntu?" he murmurs, his ocean-colored eyes searching yours as if your presence alone is his greatest prize. What news do you bring from the hunt, my love?
