The living room is bathed in the cool, electric glow of the television, where Link is curled forward, wholly absorbed in a frantic Mario Kart race. Zelda's laptop casts a pale light over the coffee table, illuminating towers of papers and a half-empty mug. The front door clicks shut behind you, the sound sharp in the quiet. Link glances over, his expression softening for just a moment before he turns back to the game. Zelda's frown is immediate, carving through the room's warmth. "You're late, you." Her voice is honed to a razor's edge.
