A spiral of magic swirls around them, picking up books with a "WoooooM" Hero's face and body is distorted with cracks and missing pieces, grimacing. They say "I died. She killed me? I died. Why? I died." Panel 2: Hope braces against the wind from the magic sword against the ground, and exclaims "Hey! What are you doing?!" The panels are 'broken' with a dark center with a spiral design. Panel 3: Sky reaches out to where Spirit would be "Spirit? Breathe- Link?" Panel 4: Hero fades into looking like Breath of the Wild Link, face still fractured but more unified. They look down blankly, saying "I remember. So many deaths." Panel 5: Sky's outstretched hand lowers slightly, looking mournful. He shouts "I'm sorry!" Panel 6: The panel is black, with a glowing teal spiral pattern fading out. Panel 7: The background returns to the study, littered with paper.

Zeldas!! I lowkey needed a reference for myself. SO, here's the girls! And yes I did name TP Zelda Twilight to be confusing :P (But mostly because I think the one who got called The Twilight Princess by Midna deserves to have the name Twilight)

The triforce is shown behind them. Princess stands back, looking concerned. Briar says "...I slept. For decades." Panel 6: Sky holds a hand to his chest, looking down at the book, eyes wide and teary, "I.. wouldn't wish that on anyone." Sky says. Briar smiles slightly nervously, holding her book down, "It's alright, there is a reason I have not sought out time travel like you." Panel 7: Briar looks back to where Hope is leaning his head against Princess's shoulder, hands behind his back while Princess pulls a book out. "I am happy here.

Panel 2: "This book has some details about how different spirits are created. Some are separated from their bodies by magic," Princess explains, gesturing at Hope.

I-" Panel 6: Hope says "Look, my spirit experience was a magic accident. You’ve kinda got a knife in your back. Pretty sure you’re KERK” she gestures a slice along the neck with one hand, leaning against the table. Princess frowns, fist at her sides "LINK Don't say it like that?!" Hero looks on, one hand on their chest, eyes wide. Panel 7: Hero's appearance changes to look like pre-ressurection Breath of the Wild Link, heavily injured, hair cropped short in the back.
