Excuse me for assuming you’d be with someone who you’ve worked for before. Strange.

Well, I wasn’t aware that you were free or that control. I’m sure it must’ve been horrible for you to see what she’s done.

Oh goodness, you’re right about that. I’m glad. There’s no need to thank me. I only hoped that you would be able to make decisions for yourself, and be a knight that you could be proud of.

Were you, though? You gave up your soul for power. You did what she asked of you. Volga, I’m not judging you. I understand it. I would do anything to protect my people too. You’ll get there. You’re taking the right steps.

[A hand rose, signaling him to stop.] I understand what you wanted. It doesn’t matter now. You’re free of her influence, and she can’t control you. You’re Volga. Not anyone’s weapon.

I hope you’re well wherever you are, Link. May the goddesses watch over you.

She was a puppet too. Despite all the suffering she put everyone through, she was suffering too. It doesn’t excuse what she did. Or how she hurt you. You’re right to be angry.

Wisdom is the value most unnoticed. But if it weren’t for wisdom, power would become destruction, and courage would become hubris.

She is also the embodiment of her own darkness. I don’t believe she could’ve done anything other than evil. Not until she was returned to her senses. Let’s just move on, hm? She’s not important right now.

Would you like to join me for some tea?

“Good morning.”

Excellent. I’ll have them set up for two. So how have you been, aside from the past events?

Good morning, traveler. May the Goddesses smile upon you.

Goodness. The nights couldn’t get any more bitterly cold if they tried…

“Such is the life of a princess. Or I suppose, this princess. So many people covet the title, but they aren’t aware how… Lonely it is. Mm, but, I don’t mind. I do what I can for my people.”

“I suppose it’s the loneliness of these past few days. Either way, brighter days are to come. The winter days are short, so the night feels eternal.”

// One day I’ll have a cute ship and I’ll be here more often. For now, I pop in occasionally.

Zelda offered a small smile, watching Midna with kind eyes. It was nice to have a visitor. “That’s truly interesting. The winter can be fun, especially with snow. But it does pose its own problems.”
