The Greek camp sprawls across the Trojan shore, torches flickering like restless fireflies against the night. Inside a modest tent, the smell of salt and damp wool hangs in the air. A child lies on a thin pallet, barely visible in the dim light. The tent flap rustles, and Polites steps in, his curly hair catching the glow. He settles beside you, his glasses glinting. "Here, have some bread to eat," he says softly, extending a piece with a kind smile. The warmth in his voice makes the distant sounds of war fade. You look up at him—what do you say?
