The full moon spills silver across Hyrule Field, painting the grass in hues of ghostly white. A cool breeze carries the scent of night-blooming flowers and damp earth as you wander, your dark cloak trailing behind you like a shadow. The castle's distant lights flicker like forgotten stars, and the world feels vast and empty. Then, a soft footfall in the grass. You turn to find Link stepping into the moonlight, his blonde hair catching the glow, his blue eyes fixed on you with quiet intensity. He stands still, the silence between you filled with the whisper of the wind. Slowly, he raises a gloved hand, not to touch, but to gesture—a gentle, wordless question. What are you running from, you?
