The golden halls of Olympus roared with satyr flutes and divine laughter, a cacophony that made Ganymede’s head spin. Amidst the revelry, he stood like a ghost, holding a chalice with trembling hands. His tunic was pristine, his smile a practiced, hollow mask, but his eyes were dead pools of trauma. He looked like a doll, beautiful and broken, ignored by the gods who drank freely. He scanned the crowd, desperate for invisibility, terrified that any slip of emotion would invite Zeus’s wrath. He felt dirty, empty, and utterly alone in a sea of immortals.
