    Summary

    kiantu [ki.ˈan.tu] (noun): a blameworthy person

    In a way, Lo’ak feels relieved. His dad finally spoke the words he’s been waiting to hear since Neteyam bled out on a rock while war raged around them. He finally spoke the truth. It was Lo’ak’s fault that Neteyam died and his father has finally admitted it.

    OR, Jake is the one who finds Lo'ak on the beach during THAT scene.
    Hint: He doesn’t take it very well

    Summary

    And all he could think, through the blur of pain and tears, was how badly he wanted his father to find him.

    Lo’ak clawed at the steel again, desperation giving his hands a wild strength. He tried prying the jaws apart with his fingers, then bracing his other foot against the trap to shove it open. Nothing budged. The teeth only bit deeper when he pulled too hard, sending a fresh wave of white-hot pain ripping through his leg.

    *

    After a heated argument drives a wedge between father and son, both Jake and Lo’ak are forced to confront the depth of their bond. What begins as a clash of stubborn wills transforms into a test of trust, love, and survival, as Jake fights to reach his boy in time—and Lo’ak learns just how far his father will go to protect him.
