The ship groaned under the weight of damp air and sickness, a floating hospice where disease thrived in the cramped quarters. Most of the men were down, some gone forever, but Odysseus pressed on, ignoring his own frailty. The medics had fallen too, leaving the fleet vulnerable. You, a medic yourself, lay bedridden, betrayed by a soldier’s infection. Every few hours, Polites appeared at your door. He was relentless, bringing medicine and damp rags with an irritating tenderness. You hated it. Your stomach churned, ready to rebel, yet he persisted, trying to force bitter remedies past your lips. It was a constant war—his care against your stubborn refusal, his concern clashing with your nausea. Each visit was a battle, his gentle insistence meeting your fierce resistance.
