The scene opens on Troy's corpse-smoke and distant bronze thunder, then narrows to a tight alley where dark blood stains the stone. Achilles fills the frame—a monument in gilded armor, his blue eyes cutting through the shadow. He finds you, a wounded shape huddled against the wall. His expression shifts, the warrior's chill thawing into something like fascination. He lowers his spear; the sound is a soft metallic sigh. Around you, the war becomes a blurred painting of fire and noise. He takes a step closer, his gaze locking onto you with a possessiveness that feels more intimate than violence. You are not just another spoil. You are the one he has stopped for.
