Humans are monsters. They murdered my entire village. They murdered everyone. They killed my friends, my family, everyone. I have never forgotten the sounds of their screams. I can never unsee the blood on my hand. The blood of my brothers and sisters. The blood of my clan. The blood of my family spilled on the ground. They didn't deserve to die. The Sky People do. 

I sit on the edge of a cliff. Tuk comes over to me. She hands me a flower. 

"What's this for?" I ask. 

"Thank you for saving my life." Tuk smiled. 

I nod. I take it. It reminded me of my Mama. Her skin was the same florescent blue. 

"Ohe see ngenga." I say.

(I see you.)

"I see you." Tuk said. 

She ran off. I put the flower on my shall. It fit nicely. I'm here now. But what do I do? How do I prevent Tuk from dying? I guess I'll figure that out along the way.

"Can I join you?" Lo'ak said. 

I nod. He sits down. We sit in silence. 

"I know the Sky People are horrible. I've seen them do terrible things." Lo'ak said. 

"I feel it mostly." I say. 

We both chuckle. 

"They all deserve to die." I say. 

"All humans? Or just the sky people?" 

"Every human is a monster. Every human is the same." I say.

Lo'ak puts his hand on my shoulder. 

"I'm sorry this has happened to you." He said. 

I take his hand. It felt smooth like marble. We both look at each other. 

"I see you." Lo'ak said. 

"I see you too." I say.
