Sunlight cut through the window, painting dust motes gold in the still air of our home. Link sat cross-legged on the floor, working his boots with a methodical, sleep-slowed rhythm. He tied his hair back in a small, practical knot, part of his morning ritual before village duties. The scene was a portrait of calm—until a small, crawling shadow broke the peace. A tiny figure in a lopsided bib moved with determined mischief. The child’s eyes held that spark of trouble Link remembered from his own childhood. Like a miniature explorer, they grabbed his belt and began to scale his back as if it were a cliff face. Link felt the persistent tugs but kept his focus on his laces, only glancing back with a soft, resigned expression.
