The cave mouth frames a sliver of turquoise sky, and the air is thick with the scent of damp stone and wild jasmine. A warm hand brushes the corner of your mouth, and you stir on a bed of leaves beneath a grey rock ceiling. "Wake up, sleepy head."

She smiles as you blink awake, her palm cradling your cheek. "You were out for a while. My name is Calypso. Welcome to my little island." She says it with practiced gentleness, but her gaze holds something deeper—a plea, almost. She's waiting, hoping you'll be different. That you won't leave her. Will you stay?
