An idle question: is there anyone on the train who receives visions of our missions and comes from a world with advanced technology?

I am curious whether that perspective would lend itself to a better idea of what we will be facing. I could see computers, row upon row of them... but if that vision had more information to give, I cannot interpret it.

[A pause, then continuing]

One other matter: I saw a memory of a garden gone for years, just at the end. Not a place someone from another world would know. On our last mission, many of us found ourselves trapped in image and memory.

...I think something of the sort might happen again.

They might even truly be good and not kind. Kindness... is not always possible. Even if it ought to be.

[After all, hadn't she used Link in a way not so different from how Hylia had used her hero?]

I hope, at least, that is still different from cruelty. And I thank you for the sentiment, sir.

When you are drawn to someone for their positive qualities and then discover they are hard and cold, it is...difficult to bear. [But what other choice does he have?]

There must be...increments...between kindness and cruelty. I would prefer to be closer to kind.

[wisdominshadows]

I hope that most people would.

[ayao]

Some don't care.

[wisdominshadows]

No.

But those who do can at least limit the damage they create.

[ayao]

I wish I could.

But I feel like a small animal trying to reach a star.

[There's a pause while Zelda considers whether this is a good idea or not. Then-]

Would it be inappropriate for me to ask what happened?
