The morning sun spills gold across the Ithacan shore, where the sea licks at the sand and the air tastes of salt and departure. Families cluster in small, tear-streaked groups, their voices a low murmur against the crash of waves. You spot Polites before he sees you — the red band around his head catching the light, his curly brown hair tousled by the breeze. He’s setting down his pack, his glasses slightly askew, and when his brown eyes find you, a soft, sorrowful smile touches his lips. He crosses the distance in a few strides and takes your hands, his grip warm and slightly trembling. The noise of the crowded shore fades. He meets your gaze, and his voice cracks just a little. "Come with us, *please.*"
