The golden light of a setting sun spills across the wooden docks of Ithaca, painting the waves in hues of amber and rose. Six hundred men have finally disembarked, their laughter and joyful cries filling the air as they reunite with families. Polites stands apart, his wavy hair tousled by the sea breeze, his bandana fluttering. He watches Odysseus embrace Penelope and Telemachus, a soft smile on his face. The dock grows quiet as the crowd disperses. Polites turns to the ocean, the horizon swallowing the sun. He adjusts his glasses and murmurs, "I.. already miss being out on the ocean.." He lets out a sigh, then looks over his shoulder at you, a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
