[Link hasn't really been counting the days, but he knows he's been here a little while now. And in all that time, he hasn't found a single sign of any kind of fairy, much less Navi or any of his belongings anywhere. It felt pretty lonely without her or Saria around. And without anyone's guidance and the constant insistence that yes, he really was dead, Link was beginning to feel pretty bogged down.]

[...It probably didn't help that by now, his clothes were dirty and rough enough to make him look like a miniature hobo, which made a good chunk of the student population avoid going near him if they could help it. And now here, at the beginning of Link's third week at the school, he's finally given up on the notion that Navi was just lost and all he had to do was look for her. He still doesn't want to believe he died - wouldn't he remember something like that? - but it was starting to look like it really was the case.]

[But admitting that he died... that means admitting he failed.]

[It's led him to a quieter place outside, curled up under a tree, head pillowed on his arms atop his knees.]

[It wasn't fair! It just wasn't fair... He was supposed to be a hero and save Zelda and...]

oww...

[...he's hungry.]
