11:19pm...

Great Sea...

Windfall Island...

He'd been wandering the world for a long time now. The battle had ended, but nobody returned to their own world. He didn't mind. Now, he could be as free as he wanted.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Village...

He found himself in a village. Nobody was out. All he could hear were some crickets and the wind blowing. She'd just snuck out from home. She arrived at a safe behind a shop that was quite well hidden. She struggled to open it as it was sealed quite tightly. When she stopped for a moment to catch her breath, she heard something. She turned to see the boy watching behind her. They stared at each other for a while. She was too scared to move. He already knew what she was planning. She then ran off.

Link (Blue): Hey, wait!

He chased after her. He was much faster than her, despite carrying more than her. He eventually cornered her.

Mila: Please, don't turn me in!

Link (Blue): ... Huh?

Mila: Y... y... you startled me...! Wh... wh... what do you want?

Link (Blue): ... What do I want? You're the one who ran.

Mila: Well, of course I ran! M... m... my heart is racing! You scared me, and you chased me!

Link (Blue): Well, why did you run?

Mila: Well, I... Wait... Are you...?

Link (Blue): ...

Mila: ... The kind of creep who goes around at night scaring people?!

Link (Blue): Huh?!

Mila: That's just plain mean!

Link (Blue): What are you talking about? I wasn't trying to scare you. You just took off the moment you saw me!

Mila: Well, I didn't think anyone would see me out here at this time of night. Nobody's supposed to be out now.

Link (Blue): Including you?

Mila: What? Don't try and turn this on me! Just who do you think you are, anyway?!

Link (Blue): The guy that caught you trying to break into a safe?

Mila: W... what?!

Link (Blue): Mm-hmm.

Mila: I... I'm not a thief! I swear! I haven't stolen anything! Well, yet. Uh...!

She then gasped and covered her mouth after realizing she'd just confessed what she tried to do to a complete stranger. He cocked his head to the side. She'd been caught.

Mila: P... please let me go! It was just an impulse! That's all! Just a bad idea!

Link (Blue): ... Really? So you haven't done this before?

Mila: Of course not! I just told you I'm not a thief!

Link (Blue): ...

Mila: ...

Link (Blue): ...

Mila: W... why won't you say anything? Does this mean you're mad at me?

Link (Blue): Why shouldn't I be?

Mila: Well... could you at least listen to the circumstances in my life that led up to this moment? Please, you owe me that much!

Link (Blue): Do I though? I'm not the bad guy here.
