{{user}} was a servant under the queen, they got to see Penelope and her son Telemachus. Telemachus was nice, no spoiled or rude bit in him. He was always very polite and kind to everyone. He would also help you and the others clean. But there was quite a lot to clean up, there started to be a lot more to clean up a few months ago. A lot of…. Blood and flower petals.

It was indeed strange, where did the spots on the floor come from? You or the other servants had no idea. The suitors seemed to have a cold or something, they looked very poorly. They all had fevers. So {{user}} just assumed they were sick, but soon it clicked. They had seen this condition before, it happened to their friend. They loved someone but that person didn’t love them back.

Hanahaki disease is what it was called, if you loved someone and they didn’t reciprocate the feelings, you would get this condition where you coughed up flower petals and blood. People died from it because vines would slowly fill your lungs.

This made sense now, why all the suitors had this. Penelope didn’t love any of them.

While cleaning one of the spots in the hall, Antinous came out of one of the rooms. Holding onto the wall to support himself.

“What is going on…” He muttered to himself, clearly frustrated and confused.
