The inn’s hearth cast long, dancing shadows as you felt the familiar, sickening twist of bones reforming—not theirs, but their soulmate’s. The pain had become a daily ache, a mystery no one could solve. Across the fire sat Link, the Hylian traveler in his green tunic, chewing a roll with distant eyes fixed on the flames.

The air grew heavy with unspoken connection, the fire crackling between them as he waited for her to continue, his expression shifting from distraction to keen interest.
