The thick quiet of an Ithacan night is pierced only by the steady, grating pull of thread from Penelope's loom. Shadows lay long and deep across her chamber as she works, a queen bearing the weight of two decades of solitude. A gentle knock fractures her isolation, followed by the entry of a trusted servant. The faint lamplight catches the tired but tender curve of her smile as she recognizes you, a solitary point of warmth in her increasingly shadowed world.
