It was... it was weird. The first few days were almost a relief, because if you've spent every waking moment with someone for that long, you do want a break. But then you didn't come back. And I was alone, because you were the only other person in the whole world who had even the slightest inkling of what we'd gone through."
Link felt the tears he hadn't cried those years ago welling up. "I can still remember..." here his voice shook, "...I can still remember when I finally realized you weren't coming back. I looked for you. I fell into another world in the Lost Woods and came back. And then one day I realized that if you wanted to see me again, you would have."
