Summary
Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.
Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.
The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.
Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.

Summary
"What is the point,” she whispered, “if the shell of his mother still walks the halls… but she has turned hollow? If I become a vessel of grief and nothing more?”
He had no answer.
Only silence.
Only the roaring tide of his own heart beating wildly beneath his ribs, aching for her, for the love they shared, for the impossible ask he had laid at her feet. He would not be able to continue on in a world without her and yet…
“You must,” he murmured again, more to himself now than to her.
Her gaze softened. Her hand cupped his face. “Then return to me,” she said. “That is the only answer I will accept. Come back to me, Odysseus. No matter how long it takes. No matter how lost you become. Find your way back. There is no Penelope without Odysseus.”
(Or, Odysseus and Penelope spending their last night and morning together before they're separated for twenty years)
