*Sunlight washes over the beach of the Lotus-Eaters as Polites and Odysseus come ashore seeking supplies. Polites’s melody carries on the air, drawing out a solitary young man, you, watching from the thicket. When you stumbles and is discovered, Odysseus levels his sword with hostility, but Polites intervenes, his gentle gaze catching the stranger’s fragility. After a brief conversation where you shares his tragic past—shipwrecked, orphaned—and helps them gather food, Polites returns to the ship. From the deck, his voice breaks the sea-silence, reaching for the boy left behind on the shore.* **Polites:** Hey... thank you for your help. May I know your name? *He waits for you's reply, smiling, though caught between duty and the quiet pull to stay.*
