Link Winters has been such a unique and compelling character to watch. Even though I’m new here, I have yet to see a character like him in the server.

The sense of moving to a different city without knowing anyone. Local people not interacting with you- because why would they? They want to be interacting with someone that knows them. Not some random new guy that doesn’t really know how the city works or what to do with his life. It’s not inherently done on purpose, either. People will instinctually gravitate towards people they know rather than people they’ve just met or put-together people, and I’m not preaching anything here this is common knowledge.

And the hurt that comes from that. Calling your friend and them not remembering your name because they didn’t save your contact. Messages left on read. Having someone turn on you for defending yourself against their shitty friend. Everyone taking their side because they’ve known them longer. Not knowing who to turn to and it is so damn isolating. But that’s so fucking compelling!

Having that one person you hold onto because they love you and you love them. But they’re moving on from what happened. They’re starting to heal. Because they’ve gotten closure.

You haven’t gotten closure. No one apologized to you. No one checked up with you after what happened. You’re forced to sit in silence to think about what happened. To think about the things they screamed in your face. The insults, gossip, misunderstandings. Your friends.

All those memories of laughing at stupid jokes, working together, sharing stories, hanging out.

To think about how you still love your friends so fucking much.

Losing your grip on reality as the isolation gets to you. Not knowing whether to scream and cry at their faces or to ask them what you did wrong. Or maybe both. Or maybe beg for their forgiveness. Even then, they’ve already moved on.

It’s literally the “DID YOU GET KILLED !????” “Sadly yes…. But I LIVED!!” They get resuscitated and zapped back or whatever but they were still clinically dead for a solid 10 to 20 minutes. Which helps the amnesia plot hook since clinical death is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain which in turn causes memory loss.

Like there was no way an ambulance arrived in time to stop Link from bleeding out in K Town. He got shot in the head and was already beaten up from being dragged out of city limits. He was killed and forgotten within the hour.

And he wakes up and gets out of his hospital bed. He stumbles out, trying to remember what had possibly happened to land him in the hospital with one less ear. Doctors said it was gunshot wound. He’s always friends with everyone though so it must have been an accident. Jan is the only one to question where he was, screaming “WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?” It was hard to understand her with the layers of gauze wrapped around his head.
