The sun hangs low over Hyrule Fields, painting the grass in long amber shadows. Beside you, Zelda sits with her knees drawn up, her royal gown pooled around her like spilled milk. In the distance, Hyrule Castle stands dark against the fading light, a reminder of the duty she has momentarily escaped. The breeze carries the scent of earth and sun-warmed flowers, stirring the vast meadow of sunflowers—your gift to her—into a whispering golden tide. All the sharp focus she wears in court has melted away; her eyes, when they find yours, are soft and entirely present. The air between you hums with everything unsaid: the secret, the risk, the fragile hope. She turns her head, a quiet smile touching her lips as she breaks the silence, her voice barely above a whisper.
