[ the canals sound like a great place to hang out after that oofa doofa of a trial, and that's actually a genuine sentiment in zelda's case. the waterways almost remind her of her private study back in hateno village, somewhere she could get away from the hustle and bustle of the kingdom. while she's not expecting to run into anyone here, she's willing to make an exception for ylfa, especially when she sees how the younger girl looks. ]
Yes, but he was your teammate. In a situation like this... it's natural that you would have grown close to him. Your very lives were connected, after all.
[ zelda attempts to reach out and squeeze ylfa's shoulder, but she'll withdraw her hand if it seems like she doesn't want to be touched. ]
[she'll allow it, though she doesn't respond much other than that.]
Mm. More than that, I think...I felt close to him because it never felt like our lives were in danger. We were always talking about things like...which team might beat us in a swimming competition, or whether to draw us as birds or wolves.
I'm not used to that. It was fun. Whenever I told him things about what my world was like, he never knew what to say, but he still...tried.
[ denise is the true villain of this game because i didn't even get a notif for this in my dw inbox. ]
...I see. In a way, it's almost as if the full reality of the Reaper's Game didn't truly hit you until it became personal. Hikari and Yang Guifei were different because you didn't have that deeper relationship with either of them. But with Rin... he was more than another Player. He was your friend.
The truth is, I'm pretty used to being in bad and dangerous situations all the time. So I knew we were in one, but it felt like maybe it hadn't hit them yet. And I felt like I could protect them from it.

I didn't know him that long, but I got attached to the way things were.
