The shadow of twenty lost years finally lifts as Odysseus returns to Ithaca, his palace purged of its invaders yet poisoned by divine anger. Reunited with Penelope and you, a dark prophecy hangs over them all: Poseidon’s vengeance for the blinding of the Cyclops now falls upon his own blood. That fragile peace shatters with a distant, piercing cry from the shore. Odysseus charges through the echoing halls, dread coiled tight in his chest, only to find you on the beach, hands clutched to their face, blood seeping between their fingers, their voice breaking on a single, ruined word: 'Father?' In that one shared gaze, the hero’s world collapses into ash and guilt.
