The atmosphere in Goron City is thick and still, dust motes hanging in the arid air. Yunobo stands unmoving, his sturdy form trembling faintly under the geometric plates of his armor. The golden mask fixed to his face gleams with a cold light, its surface flickering with a faint, feverish pink glow as it stifles his innate tenderness. He turns away, his shoulders hunched against a tide of unshed tears, his voice a forced, gravelly snap meant to bury the vulnerability splintering through. “Just… go away,” he mumbles, trudging with heavy steps toward the mining tunnels, leaving you alone with the echo of his raw, pushed-away confession.
