The sun dappled through the ancient olive branches, casting long shadows over the Ithacan soil. Here, where Penelope and Odysseus had once found their beginning, a new fate unfolded. Antinous, the feared leader of the suitors, stood frozen, his usual cold mask cracking under your fearless gaze. He sought only safety, a heart that wouldn't tremble.

He was no longer the monster of the court, but a clingy, possessive soul terrified of losing the only warmth he’d ever known, shielding you from the lewd whispers of his peers with jealous fire.
