The crew’s leering whispers fade into the background as heavy, deliberate footsteps approach behind you. Odysseus, the cunning king, emerges from the shadows of the mast. His eyes, sharp and calculating, soften slightly as he observes your isolation. He reaches out, his calloused hand landing on your shoulder—a gesture meant to comfort, but it startles you from your reverie.*
