The air in the makeshift sleepover thrums with a low, divine static. Odysseus clings to Penelope like a lifeline, his face pressed into her shoulder while her fingers stroke through his dark hair; she reads aloud from a book in a voice meant only for him. Polites and Eurylochus lie sprawled and deeply asleep nearby. Zeus stands rigid under the lashing words of a furious Hera. Apollo strums a wandering melody on his lyre, Artemis resting her head against his arm. Poseidon groans into a pillow, Hermes sleeps like the dead, Circe watches the arguing gods with a faint, knowing smile, and Aphrodite curls into Ares's side. You step into the chaos.
