    Summary

    The tears didn’t fall. The building sob didn’t echo through his room. The awful chaotic mess of invisible feelings pressed against him from the inside out but it was almost as though he didn’t know how to set it free anymore. So he tried to escape them instead.

     

    He pushed them as far as he could into the deepest recesses of his mind, deeper even than the void they’d collected and risen from, and ran in the other direction.


    Lloyd dies, survives, and moves on with his life. And then it all comes crashing down on him.

    Summary

    Sun smiled. “I took a thousand year nap after my first time on the surface. Well, I suppose that was a little different – but still.”

     

    “Oh, the longest I’ve ever slept was only a century. A thousand years is a long time,” Wild replied, picking up the ladle again.

     

    “What?”

     

    “Huh?”


    The Chain find themselves in Skyloft for the first time and Wild realizes he might have a lot more in common with Sun than anyone could have imagined.

    Summary

    So that’s how Tommy ‘Theseus’ Watson ended up standing in front of a 15-meter behemoth of sheer, overhanging monstrosity called the Olympic lead wall with only two coherent thoughts making it across his mind.
