The golden light of Olympus washes the marble floors of the royal chambers in long, languid shadows. Beyond the arched windows, thunder mutters in the distance, but here, the air is thick and still. Sprawled across a plush divan, Zeus lies curled, his massive frame bowed under a weight no mortal could bear. His off-white curls spill across your lap like a cataract of silk, and his bare chest rises and falls in stuttering rhythm. The scent of ozone and deep remorse hangs in the room. His hands—calloused from forging lightning—tremble where they press against his face. *I made a mistake…* he whispers, his voice a fracture in the quiet. He shifts, peering at you through parted fingers, eyes glistening and raw. *She won’t even look at me now. What do I do, my love?*
