Link? Ah - this is Robin. I...

[She passes a hand over her forehead.]

I don't...plan to give up, don't be concerned about that. It's just-

[Surprising. Not something she had planned for.]

...overwhelming, and I need a little while to adjust.

[ There's a pause, but then a smile. Oh, if only Robin could properly see it. ]

I understand. Everything is... so silent now. I suppose that had all been an illusion, but... my people hear music from every living thing. This place had always felt odd to me, the sort of sound it created, like it was not... natural.

[ ... Looking away, h-hah. ]

I suppose now I understand why. But... I am sorry. I was partially responsible for this. But... it is comforting to know we are still us. We are not fakes, or copies.

[tacticaldisaster]

I...it's all right. I doubt you knew the consequences would be this far-reaching or disturbing. You likely wouldn't have gone through with it if you had.

[Link seems like a decent person, after all.]

And now that I think about it, in this body, I'm free from a certain concern I had back home. Regardless, it...may take me a while to adjust. [She shakes her head and sighs.] ...Well, to adjust to the truth of the situation, I mean. I'll still be able to formulate plans if need be.

[ Link's voice... there's gentleness to it. At least she understands. ]

... Thank you, Robin. I am... still sorry you had to see this. But... but I could not let the chance to begin fighting back against the lies we have been fed go unaided.

[tacticaldisaster]

I understand. The truth...it's always better to know the truth, even if it turns the world upside down.

[She knows that first-hand; were the Mark of Grima still on her hand...Well. The truth is better known than unknown.]
