    Summary

    “How may I address you, wise and powerful spirit?”

    Wise? Powerful? Odysseus was trapped on an island for seven years and then he died. There aren’t a lot of beings less wise and powerful than he is. “There’s no need for any of that,” he sighs. “Just call me…” He bites his lip, remembering the last alias he used, before everything went wrong. “Nobody.”

    “Nobody,” the strangely familiar boy repeats, smiling at what he perceives to be a joke. Odysseus wishes he could laugh with him. “Alright. It is good to meet you, Nobody.” He bows, low. “My name is Telemachus.”

    Summary

    He wets his lips anxiously, putting his hands in front of him in defence. “Tom, can you, uhm, can you just tell me why you’re here, please? I’m really confused. I don’t understand why—I don’t understand what’s going on.”

    Tom smiles at him, his brow creasing momentarily like he’s concerned for Grace—as though he doesn’t understand Grace’s obvious fear. “Aw, c’mon, it’s not that confusing. I’m here to take you home.” He laughs. “Well, your new home, obviously.”

    Summary

    Sometimes, when he was alone and the silence was loud enough to amplify his thoughts, he could admit that he feared it. Feared touch. Feared sex. Feared intimacy and all it implied.

    ‘No’ had never meant anything when he was small.

    Why would it mean anything now?
