Link's POV
"Karusa?" Impa asks just as shocked. "As in... Valley?" She gets up and rolls up her sleeves. "The Boar?" Then she rips the pile of papers out of Zelda's grip. Half of it drops to the floor again and while Zelda starts to pick those papers up, Impa reads through the other half. "The Boar that attacked Link on the baseball field? That guy?"
He did a hell of a lot worse than that, but yes, that's the one.
With a sour taste on my tongue, I glare at the documents while I help Zelda pick them up. I don't know much about law so I don't know what any of this means but Zelda's face is translating the meaning behind it all. And it's not looking good.
Zelda looks at me with so much disgust and fear in her eyes. "You don't think Father would sue him for..." but she stops herself from finishing her sentence because Impa is in the room and my best guess is that she doesn't know about the hickey. "He wouldn't..."
I stay quiet. From what I know about her dad, he totally would go public with the sexual assault thing. But then again, he's been trying to be a better dad so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
"Maybe you should call him up and ask what this is about," I say in a calm voice.
Zelda's breathing is starting to get hectic as she flips through the loose pages and I worry she'll have a panic attack if she doesn't calm down.
"How could he..." she says in a broken whisper. "I made him promise not to tell anyone..."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Impa asks confused. "Karusa should be in prison for what he did to Link."
"This isn't about Link," Zelda pants, looking more and more scared.
"What do you mean? It says it right here," Impa points at one of the papers she's holding. "Hyrule University vs. Karusa Valley."
"What?" Zelda and I say at the same time.
"The altercation escalated into a physical confrontation," Impa reads out loud, "during which Link Miyamoto and the defendant engaged in a brawl, with security personnel attempting to intervene."
"Give me that," Zelda snatches the page from Impa and mumbles the rest of the paragraph to herself. "Hyrule University seeks to hold Karusa Valley legally responsible for the physical altercation and resulting injuries inflicted upon its student-athlete, Link."
"What does that mean?" I ask them, trying to look over Zelda's shoulder to see which paragraph she's reading."

Zelda flips to the next page and I try to read as much as possible before she goes on to the next.
