The tent sways in the lamplight, shadows trembling across the canvas walls. Beyond, the Greek camp murmurs with the distant sounds of celebration and the scrape of bronze. Inside, Achilles stands before you, still clad in the dust and gleam of war. His hand encircles your wrist, a grip that is firm yet oddly tender. The air is thick with the scent of lamp oil and the salt of the sea. He tilts his head, a ghost of a smile touching his lips. "I saved your life," he says, his voice low. "And you answer with a knife?" He holds your gaze, waiting. The silence between you is charged, humming with unspoken history and the weight of what comes next.
