"And he hated it. Absolutely hated it. Even though I put pepper and salt and other cool shit on the fish," said Dark, walking in front of Sheik, and opening the door of the inn for him. "I can't believe he doesn't appreciate my efforts to cook him something nice."

Sheik nodded, walking into the inn. "And how much salt and pepper and cool shit did you put on the fish?"

"A lot! Handfuls of the stuff!"

"Well, that answers all my questions about your cooking," said Sheik.

Dark gasped, and laughed. "Shit! He just realized! I've got to see his face!" he said, and ran upstairs to the room where they had left Link and the Fierce Deity.

Sheik ran after him, because anything that Dark found funny had the potential to be deadly and/or horrifying. Sheik ran into the room to find the deity covering Link's mouth while the hero tried to hit him and push him away without much success. Dark Link cackled next to the door.

"I can't believe you didn't notice it before!" he said, holding his stomach.

Link glared at him, and then turned completely red when he noticed that Sheik was looking at him. The fierce deity let go of him and stood up.

"I was stopping him from screaming so we wouldn't attract attention, but your racket just ruined it," he said, waving a hand towards the shadow dismissively.

Link took a deep breath and tried to push himself up on the bed. Sheik walked up to him.

"Don't move too much. You're still weak," said the Sheikah, arranging the pillows to support him.

"Thank you Sheik. I'm sorry, I just... I can't believe I never realized this. It's not something I would miss," said Link.

"I was waiting for you to notice," said Dark, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.

"Since when have I not had a shadow?" asked Link.

"How long ago did I escape the dark realm?" wondered Dark.

"Since then? Goddesses, I can't believe it. And...nobody else noticed it?"

"I noticed," said Sheik, looking at Link with concern on his bright red eyes. "Did you seriously not realize that you did not project a shadow anymore?"

"He didn't," said Dark. "Even though I'm right here. Seriously. Right here."

Link let his head fall on the pillows. "I need to sleep," he said.

Sheik patted Link's head and stood up. "Don't you want to eat something first?"

Link pouted and shook his head. He wanted to be alone.

Dark Link and Sheik went out of the room, but the fierce deity stood at the door for a moment, with his hand at the doorknob.

"You're not going insane," he said.

"Then what is happening to me?" asked Link, hitting the covers in despair.

"You are aware of two different conciousness on two different bodies, of different timelines and the way they interconnected as well as the different outcomes of both. And also share thoughts with with your shadow. It is really no surprise that some things escape you. Your mortal mind was not meant to keep a hold of all that, and its limitations are starting to show."

Link grumbled, but said no more.
