[When the audio opens, it's quiet for some while. Link, already awkward with words, struggles to find a way to phrase what he needs to say.]

...

[Eventually, he decides that boiling it down to the main message matters.]

I'm sorry.

[He closes the feed.]

What happened... none of that was your fault, Link.

[audio] tapferkeit July 4 2011, 17:08:10 UTC

It's not yours either.

[He looks away for a moment, but gives a nod.]

You helped us in the fight. Thank you.

Souji...

[There's a long pause. It's clear that he's not good at this. His next words are hesitant.]

... Sometimes, people become monsters, and you have to get rid of monsters however you can.

[Adachi was going to kill him, he remembers. If he hadn't killed him, either he'd have ended up dead, or close enough, and Adachi would have fled. What if he'd gotten back to the Queen?

But still - that doesn't make him a judge. He sighs, understanding.]

We have to do what we can. But he was still - just a man.

I was part of him, for a little while.

[He shakes his head.]

Someone who hates that much... they're not human. Not anymore.

[audio] toplay_thefool July 6 2011, 16:25:15 UTC

That - was just a part of him. Dominant, then, but - still.

[Link can't explain his point any more eloquently than that. He's sure he could ask Sheik to explain necessity and duty to Souji, but he can't imagine Souji would feel that it was any more comforting than Link himself had.

Instead, he picks up his ocarina and plays the Song of Healing for him, too.]

[It's strange, but he feels a little less heavy after hearing that, as if some of the tension has unwound and dispersed. He feels like he can breathe.]

...Thank you.

[He smiles.]

Least I could do.

[audio] toplay_thefool July 7 2011, 14:58:50 UTC

[His smile is slow in coming, small, but genuine. He nods, as if settling his mind on something.]

This isn’t over yet, but we’ll get through it.

[audio] tapferkeit July 9 2011, 20:36:05 UTC

[He makes a small noise of affirmation.]

[audio] toplay_thefool July 9 2011, 20:53:02 UTC

[Another nod, unseen as it is.]

You're - doing okay, right?

[audio] tapferkeit July 11 2011, 14:04:18 UTC

Yeah.

Thank you.

[audio] toplay_thefool July 11 2011, 14:31:52 UTC

Mm. I'll see you soon, Link.

And thanks, again.

[audio] tapferkeit July 11 2011, 14:37:45 UTC

I hope you're okay, Souji.

'Bye.
