Summary
"But she knows enough about medicine to be aware that rot needs to be flushed out or cut away, knows that if left alone it will fester and spread until there’s nothing left, only a raw mass of infection, flesh eaten to the bone. So when she sees pain and ache and hurt, memories and emotion and loss, all gnawing away at what’s left of Odysseus, she asks. Even if it reopens a wound just beginning to close, she won’t sit idly while he cages the horrors inside his ribs, nestled beside a scarred and still bleeding heart, letting themselves bloom bloody under his skin like a field of ghostly asphodelus and scarlet poppy."
