Upstairs
('It might well have cut her hair, if she hadn't suddenly flipped backwards to bend out of the way of the strike while drawing her Beretta. The kicking motion of her left leg as she retreats back to a scrambling fighting position might get a bonus disarmament if she's lucky - at any rate, her Magical Girl outfit will be out and she'll be ready to spin up Time Stop to figure out what the hell is going on with Link.'')
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Mm... nah. She left an imprint on me, but I'm still Muramasa.
...Still. It's fun to think of her like a middle-school crush. Maybe entertain the fact that she harbored a few feelings for my host... little victories, y'know?
Ghh—!
(Link's grip is strong, so he holds onto the Master Sword as he gets kicked back. And just as Homura reaches for her Time Shield, Link reaches for his Sheikah Slate, a strange yellow runic symbol engraved on its screen...)

("Relax.")
>("See? You can fight.")
...You ever have anything like that? Small victories that are most likely delusions of your mind?
(...Link doesn't know financing well enough to understand the lingo, but he's sure that Homura's not doing what she's claiming she is.)
(The threat that robot represents... won't it only grow the more time she gives it? Don't all threats work that way?)

"... I suppose it's unfortunate for your host. But you are not your host, are you?"
