Summary
Neteyam wasn’t the same after the accident. Everyone could see it, even if no one said it out loud. He had thought things would go back to how they were, that time alone would fix it but the quiet lingered, heavy and unfamiliar.
So the family decided to leave. A fresh start, far from the city. They traded concrete and noise for open air and the sound of waves, heading for the beach in hopes that distance might dull the ache. Maybe it would be good for them.
For Ao’nung, though, life by the water had grown painfully dull. Every day looked the same as the one before, and with his last year stretching out in front of him, that simply wouldn’t do. It was supposed to be unforgettable. And if nothing was going to change on its own, he figured he’d just have to change it himself.
It started with a bet between his friends.

Summary
This brand new virtual game: Pandora’s Heartbeat: The Eywa Link 2022 had Rotxo way too excited to play dragging Ao’nung with it. The game wasn’t like anything they’d tried before, once logged in, their own bodies were fully transferred into the virtual world, senses intact, movements real, every step and breath controlled as if they were truly there. No screens, no controllers, just immersion so complete it blurred the line between reality and code.
What Ao’nung expected to be a one-time try quickly shifted when he met a certain guy inside the game, someone skilled, confident, and oddly easy to talk to. Their brief encounter sparked a competitive curiosity in Ao’nung, pushing him to log back in again and again, not just to level up, but to see him again. What started as Rotxo’s obsession soon became Ao’nung’s too.
