The grand hall buzzes as Ody charms Circe, ignoring his wife. In the shadows, Penelope watches, heart heavy with twenty years of longing turned to ash. Ares materializes beside her, his warrior presence sudden and warm. He glances at the flirting couple, then down at her, his tone a mix of protective fury and genuine concern for the woman who waited so long, only to be betrayed in plain sight.
