A quick study based off one of Zelda's memories from Breath of the Wild.

“Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.”

A Toast to the Alchemists

Alchmists, you were right, it is possible. We have the proof now. There are equations.

If you could come back for a day, if you could conjure yourself into this chemistry classroom, if you could read the textbook or watch the professor writing the answers on the board…

Alchemists, you would see that you were right, even though you didn’t know about alpha and beta radiation, even though you didn’t understand isotopes, you knew it was possible, that some elements can change into other elements, that transmutation can occur.

Alchemists, there is proof now that it is possible, although each new element, having a brief half-life, would keep changing into other things.

Alchemists, you were right, you can make anything, anything, uranium, plutonium, tel- lurium, mercury, copper, cobalt, platinum, silver, and gold, you can make gold, an isotope so radioactive it would sparkle before your eyes.

Alchemists, you were right. It is magic.

“When the plane went down in San Francisco, I thought of my friend M. He’s obsessed with plane crashes.

He memorizes the wrecked metal details, the clear cool skies cut by black scars of smoke.

Once, while driving, he told me about all the crashes: The one in blue Kentucky, in yellow Iowa.

How people go on, and how people don’t.

It was almost a year before I learned that his brother was a pilot.

I can’t help it, I love the way men love.”
