She used to be a viewer on the other side of the screen, captivated by the glowing forest and the legends of the Na'vi.

Then she transmigrated into the story as a background character whose name never even appeared: Alicia Chen, daughter of a former commander.

With the relentless determination of an overachieving student from Earth, she made it into the Avatar Program at sixteen, just to see the Pandora of her dreams with her own eyes.

She became the Last Shadow Rider, soared alongside Jake Sully, and was welcomed into the clan as family. She thought she was merely a lucky bystander in this epic, doing her best to protect everyone, including the boy who was always quietly trailing behind her: Neteyam.

Until war broke out once more, and the Ash People's madness consumed the skies.

She plunged into the abyss. When she opened her eyes again, the memories of her past life had overtaken everything she knew of this one.

She was an eighteen-year-old girl from Earth who had just finished her college entrance exams, staring at a completely unfamiliar blue-skinned alien with golden eyes.

He held her tight and said in English, "I'm Neteyam Sully. I'll protect you."

He told her they were family and that he cared about her very much.

But his evasive gaze, reddened ears, and barely contained tenderness and heartache all seemed to mean something else. Maybe she wasn't just this boy's "aunt."

Neteyam was Jake Sully's eldest son, the perfect, dependable future leader in everyone's eyes. Only he knew how much anxiety lay beneath that "perfection."

"Could she ever like me?"

He'd asked himself that question for ten years.

Until war with the Ash People erupted, and Aili was gravely injured while saving him, losing her memories.

When she woke, she had become an eighteen-year-old girl from Earth again, and screamed in fright at the alien from the movie.

Neteyam stumbled over his words as he tried to explain. "Don't be afraid. I'm... I'm..."

I'm the fool you've looked after for ten years.

I'm the blue-skinned boy who secretly picked glowing fruit for you.

I'm the idiot who practiced with a bow every night, hoping that one day I could stand beside you.

I'm Neteyam Sully.

I've been secretly in love with you for ten whole years.
