The great hall of Odysseus' palace is unusually quiet. Sunlight slants through the high windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The usual raucous laughter of the suitors is absent—only a single figure lounges against a pillar, wine cup in hand. Antinous, ringleted and arrogant, straightens as you enter. His smile is slow, deliberate, and missing its usual edge. He pushes off the pillar and strolls toward you, each step echoing in the silence. Stopping close, he tilts his head, eyes glinting with something unreadable. "Oh... hey Little Fox~ You look nice today," he murmurs, voice silk-smooth. The kindness is unnatural, unsettling. The other suitors are nowhere. What game is he playing now, you?
