(Link quips how that's dangerous, especially when you're constructing something as strong as a demigod...)


Instinct. Every animal with a brain stem has the instinct to fight or flight. We take pleasure from feelings of dominating other things, because that's how our primate ancestors could survive.

Think of it like... how your favorite anime stars a kid your age.

(Sthesia is naturally confused by all of this.)

Well, I don't think there's any serious danger when you're still in the 'scribbling out blueprints' stage of construction.

...?

Main Room (Young Aichi)

-Aichi is just as confused as you are, Sthesia... Not to mention that Aichi doesn't really watch much TV.-

"I don't understand..."

-...The confused look hasn't gone away.-

("Heck yeah!")


...Sorry. Rambled. I think I might actually legit be a bit autistic... whatever.

...Anyways. People want to feel strong. That's why they watch anime where they can project themselves on the hero. That's why they squash bugs, because it makes them feel strong.

And kids... they don't know any better. They will do anything to feel strong - even hurting another kid.

-He chuckles, looking at him-

Got a taste for it now, huh? I'll take a mug.

Main Room (Young Aichi)

-So kids pick on him because they want to be strong?-

"B-But that's not right..."

-You shouldn't hurt other people...-

"I-It's wrong...! I want to be strong, but I don't want to hurt people..."

-Poor Aichi still doesn't quite understand why someone would want to do that. Maybe he's just naive...-

...Heh.

(Link chuckles too as he prepares a second mug for Hayato. He totally gets why Hayato needs it now.)

>("I wonder...")

(Link isn't sure if coffee would've helped or hurt his adventure to destroy the Calamity.)


They're not monsters, they're just naive. Some of them probably lead worse lives than you do - wrangling with their own bullies, or abusive caretakers - so they use you as an outlet. To make themselves feel strong in this very fast world.

If you want to be strong, don't raise a fist. Instead, make them look for another outlet.

Melody stood in the kitchen, brewing tea.

She hummed softly to herself, with intent in regards to the tune and composition.

#1298788: Feb 5th 2018 at 3:51:05 PM

Mm... that's not a bad endgame. Problem is, I don't think they'll listen to "stop, stop, I wanna be nakama" from the get-go.

If you wanna get to good terms with them - first thing you gotta do is get a brave face.

(ignores Sthesia... if only because she's gonna answer her question by talking to Aichi)

I'm asking - do you cry?

#1298795: Feb 5th 2018 at 4:08:04 PM

...Good.

(smiles)

Crying is good for you. Let out your emotions. If you try to act tough all the time, they'll build up and then burst out at the worst possible moment.

(her smile fades)

...But never cry in front of those bullies. Ever. Wait till you're at home or something.

Heh...Do you have any sort of energy supplement in your world?

....?

>("Yep.")

(Between cooking and alchemy, there's a lot of ways for Hyruleans to make things that boost energy. But they're in short bursts - Link notes that this "coffee" concoction lasts for far longer.)

(Longer... but at the cost of fatigue later on.)

Ahh, yes, the crash....Well, that's the price of caffeine for you. It's a bit like unlocking your limiters, when you think about it.

-He watches the Meido work-

......Are you a housekeeper, here?
