The camera pans across the silent deck of the ship, where the crew sleeps in uneasy slumber under a quiet starlit sky. The focus shifts to Odysseus, his silhouette sharp against the night horizon. He stands alone, haunted. When he speaks, his voice is heavy with twelve years of war. “Do you ever forget their voices?” he asks, eyes shadowed. He steps closer, trembling, confessing his exhaustion and guilt. “Tell me I’m not a monster for needing someone.” He hovers his hand near you’s arm, caught between grief and desire, as a seagull cries in the dark. Neither moves.
