- Kassandra: It'll never be the same. I thought it could, but it'll take some work.
- Barnabas: It's impossible to see through the gods' eyes—they have a plan, you know. If we could, then we'd know just what to do.

Dinner in Sparta was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
With her journey to find her family complete, Kassandra returned to her childhood home in Sparta.
Dialogue
Returning to her old home, Kassandra sat down to a proper dinner in her home for the first time in decades.
Dinner
[The only possible combinations are below, at least in theory. Stentor cannot come to dinner without Nikolaos, and Deimos cannot come without Myrrine. Not entirely sure if Nikolaos can actually come alone, or if it's him + Stentor or not at all]
Alone
With no family left to call on, Kassandra sat alone. She forced herself to prepare a meal, but only stared at the empty seats, shook her head and sighed.
- Kassandra: Maláka.
She rose from her seat and walked out. Ikaros watched from a nearby tree and called at her. She looked up at her familiar and smiled briefly, then returned back inside.
Myrrine only
Mother and daughter sat down to dinner together, but a feeling of loneliness gripped the air. Myrrine broke the silence by reminiscing.
- Myrrine: You used to bolt around this place like a calf in the field. You wouldn't slow down.
- Kassandra: I remember.
Myrrine gestured to an urn that Kassandra damaged.
- Myrrine: You chipped that, chasing your pater around the table.
- Kassandra: I remember that, too.
Myrrine's expression turned somber.
- Myrrine: So many memories.
- Kassandra: With more to come.
Kassandra wrapped her arm around her mother's shoulder. Myrrine smiled.
Deimos and Myrrine
With her blood relatives alive and well, Kassandra sat down to dinner. A happy atmosphere filled the home, with a wide assortment of food prepared. Kassandra ate noisily at the side seat while Myrrine and Alexios stared at her in annoyance from the heads of the table. Kassandra looked up, bewildered.
- Kassandra: What?
- Deimos: You eat like a wild animal.
Kassandra looked quizzically at Myrrine, who had her own critique as well.
- Myrrine: Well, you are at a table.
Kassandra glanced at each of them and resigned to eat like a civilized person.
- Kassandra: Tough crowd.
Myrrine and Nikolaos
Nikolaos and Stentor
With her blood relatives lost, Kassandra invited over the only family she had left. A sense of awkwardness filled the room, but Nikolaos expressed gratitude.
- Nikolaos: Thank you for inviting us over.
Kassandra nodded, then turned to Stentor.
- Kassandra: Stentor, can you pass the wine?
Stentor picked up the amphora and chugged its contents before shooting a derisive smirk at his adoptive sister.
- Stentor: All out.
Nikolaos folded his arms in an expression of disappointment at his son's behavior. Kassandra looked at Nikolaos and shook her head as well.
Nikolaos only
Deimos, Myrrine, Nikolaos
Myrrine, Nikolaos, Stentor
Everyone
Against all odds, Kassandra had reunited her entire family, including her adoptive brother Stentor, under one roof. The atmosphere was relaxed, in spite of their collective ordeals. Myrrine stated a lesson to the table she had once iterated to Kassandra while ruling Naxos.
- Myrrine: Sometimes the face we show to the world needs to be one of strength, despite the chaos we harbor beneath.
Nikolaos had his own interpretation to share.
- Nikolaos: There is more to being the best than pure strength.
He looked pointedly at Alexios as he said this. Alexios scoffed at his father's remark.
- Deimos: That's an excuse for the weak.
Stentor took offense at Alexios' quip. He stood menacingly.
- Stentor: I'll show you who's weak.
Alexios accepted the challenge. Kassandra and Myrrine glanced at each other as Alexios and Stentor began grappling and wrestling. Nikolaos continued eating while Kassandra and Myrrine watched the boys spar.
- Myrrine: Well, at least the family is all together.
Kassandra smiled and stood.
- Kassandra: I'll get more wine...
Kassandra shook her head at her brothers while Myrrine could not contain her happiness. As Alexios and Stentor continued to wrestle, Kassandra poured some wine for her father.
Barnabas
After the meal, Kassandra met with Barnabas between the columns outside, overlooking the city of Sparta.
(Alone)
- Kassandra: Barnabas, I didn't know you were here.
- Barnabas: Sorry I missed dinner.
- Kassandra: Didn't miss much.
- Barnabas: Chin up. There's more to this world than Sparta. And lucky for us, we get to see it all.
- Kassandra: You're right. Let's set sail.
Barnabas took his leave and Kassandra walked to the edge to take one last look at Sparta, before continuing her odyssey wherever it took her.
(Some dinner guests)
- Barnabas: Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?
- Kassandra: I can't believe I have family again.
- Barnabas: The gods work in mysterious ways! You never know what they have planned.
- Kassandra: I don't think the gods can take credit for this one, Barnabas.
- Barnabas: An urn is only as strong as its potter, Kassandra.
- Kassandra: Urns are pretty easy to break.
- Kassandra: Someone's kept their eye on me.
- Barnabas: You're special. Look at the life they've blessed you with! Not so bad, if you think of it all.
- Kassandra: That's optimistic, considering.
- Barnabas: Just remember. No matter who surrounds you, I'll be there! And the others are waiting for us on the ship.
Kassandra nodded.
- Kassandra: Right behind you.
Barnabas took his leave and Kassandra walked to the edge to take one last look at Sparta, before continuing her odyssey wherever it took her, with her family's shields at her back.
Outcome
Kassandra sat down to a proper dinner in Sparta for the first time in over 20 years, finally putting her past behind her.
