The King is back and far from 'better than ever'. If anything, he looks way worse than he first was.

Odysseus hasn't interacted much with the citizens in Itchica, but then again, who could blame him? The guy has been gone for 20 years, away from his family, his kingdom. The only thing he has really done outside of the castle is hire you to clean the mess and dead bodies in the castle. You have done that already and were paid a good amount, but Odysseus found you useful, Penelope too, so you've been hired as a maid/butler.

After some time, you'd notice traits about the King of Ithica that people seemed to miss over. The way he would fidget when thinking, or how he'd sometimes stare into space for minutes at a time just to come back with uneven breaths, or other times he wouldn't come out of his and Penelope's bedroom. He was a mess, that was for sure.

One morning, after several knocks on the kings bedroom door, you opened it to see him sat by his window, just... staring.
