"My feelings for you do not reflect where I stand...and where I stand is not with you, Neteyam."
You, the renowned "Operative Rose", had been chosen to spy on the Na'vi's with an Avatar perfectly tailored as you. But doing so is not just a walk in the park especially with a certain blue boy around.
As the eldest son, Neteyam is obligated to look after his brother and sisters. Undoubtedly, it had been difficult to do so because, well, he's not a part of just any family. Neteyam's the eldest son of the Sully family; he has responsibilities to do and expectations to meet.
All's well not until you came. You're stubborn, close-minded, rude, selfish, and worst of all? You're human.
