Four hours later at Rhoam's mansion, Zelda woke up. She had fallen asleep from crying so much. The woman slowly stood up and tried to open it, but it was locked. "Let me out!!" she hollered and banged on the door, hoping that someone would hear her, but nobody did. Zelda grabbed her cell phone and unlocked it. She opened the messaging app and started messaging her father:

Father, please, unlock my room!! I didn't do anything wrong!!

Zelda then threw her phone onto her bed and plopped into her chair. She opened her desk drawer and pulled out a two-year-old letter from Link.

Hey. Zelda. My goddess.

I really miss you. I really do. I think about you every single fucking day. I see and hear you in my dreams. Tomorrow is the first day of eighth grade, and honestly, I'm not excited at all. My grades have been dropping a lot last year because I was recently diagnosed with depression. I was trying so hard to improve my grades, but it wasn't working...I failed tests, exams, gave wrong answers on homework assignments... My bunkmates refuse to leave me alone, they continue to terrorize me day after day. I don't know what to do with my life anymore, my life is nothing but shooting practice, homework, and terror. Where are you? Why aren't you writing back? Come back...at least write me back...I want to know if you still love me! If you have a cell phone, please text me! 876-xxx-yymm or hylian_champion@xmail.hl. I really want to know how you're doing...I would love to see you again. Bye for now.

With love, your Link.

Zelda felt a dried up tear on the paper that was Link's. He was probably crying when writing this letter, she thought when she heard her phone vibrate.

Father™️: I was told that you uttered swear words at Ganondorf and my guards. I don't allow anybody to swear in my home. Think about your behavior, young lady.

Zelda did a sigh and opened a new messaging tab in her phone. Should I text Link, she thought and entered his number.
Linkie? Are you okay? This is Zelda.

Zelda did a deep sigh and pressed the send button. She then saved his number in her phone and scrolled through her contacts for a second.

After five seconds, Zelda recurved a notification:

My Knight❤️⚔️: oh my Hylia, Zelda, are you okay?! I'm fine, but are you?!
Me: Linkie, please look out! The Uber driver that drove you and Sidon to Hateno was a Yiga clan! He drove back here and told your whole conversation to Ganondorf! He's going to follow you to the Lost Woods! Whatever you do, please look out!
My Knight❤️⚔️: I got it! Zelda, just hang on, I'll save you, I promise!!
Me: Link, just saying, don't text me unless I text you, if my father finds out that I'm texting you, I'll get my phone taken away forever, okay? ❤️❤️
My Knight❤️⚔️: I promise! I love you 💕
Me: I'll text you again later, okay? Someone's coming. Do not respond to this. Bye my love ❤️

Zelda deleted the chat and listened. It wasn't anybody coming for her. Zelda put her phone down and looked at herself in the mirror. "I better go take a bath...I feel filthy," she said to herself. She entered her bathroom and began filling up her tub with warm water. Then, she turned to the security camera. "Stop staring at me!!" she groaned at the camera and covered it with a towel. "I'm standing up for myself!! I'm tired of a bunch of men watching me doing everything: bathing, sleeping, eating, taking a crap! Everything I do needs to be watched! Every breath I take, every move I make, every bond I break, they'll be watching me! Every single day, every word I say, every game I play, every night I stay, they'll be watching me!" she sang and grabbed her phone. She began undressing when she heard her phone vibrate twice. On her screen she saw:
