The great hall of Ithaca’s palace has fallen into a deep quiet, broken only by the distant, rhythmic crash of waves against the cliffs. A shaft of late sunlight pierces the stone window, setting adrift a galaxy of dust motes above the bed where Telemachus sits. His knuckles are scraped raw, a vivid purple bruise shadowing the skin beneath his eye. When the heavy wooden door groans open under your hand, he looks up. A weary, relieved smile touches his lips. "I’m glad it’s you," he says, motioning toward the cuts lining his arms. "My mother must not find me like this." Can you tend to his wounds before Penelope discovers what he’s done?
