Silence rang in their ears as they tried to piece together everything that just happened.
They'd beaten Vaati... right? But, they were back here... back at the shrine where they started. Did they do any of it? Was Vaati toying with them this whole time? Did Vaati really have the power to just... reset everything? And where was Zelda?
"This... doesn't make any sense," Link slammed his fist on the ground. "What did we miss? What just happened!?"
"I don't get it either," Barry agreed, numb. "This is... It's just... ah, eh..."
Paul was the first to get to their feet. He walked to the door of the shrine, but he didn't leave, he just looked outside. "Vaati's Palace is gone," he told the others. "We... we really do have to do everything all over again."
"All those things that didn't add up," Link said, facing them. "Why the fairies had the keys in the first place; where Vaati's Palace came from; how Vaati even broke free; why Vaati's acting different; and why there's only three of the four elements active, when there's still four of us."
"I don't remember talking about that last one," Paul said.
"I didn't mention it before," Link answered. "But there's a green Great Fairy of Forest, a blue Great Fairy of Ice, and a red Great Fairy of Fire. Why wasn't there a pink Great Fairy of Earth?"
"I told you it was pink!" Paul exclaimed.
"The element is purple," Barry corrected. "So you're purple too."
"That's not how colors work," Paul muttered.
"That's not what matters either," Link interrupted. "Why is there no Great Fairy of Earth? No, what matters is figuring this out." He stopped for a second. "... How-Where do we go for that?"
"Vaati's still here, I think." Barry stood up and started pacing as he thought out loud. "If he had the power to leave, he would've done that instead of messing with us. So it would be stupid to just leave for the mainland for answers. We're going to have to find answers here, assuming they exist. What other places are there around here?"
Link nodded north. "There's an old lighthouse up the way, but there's nothing there. Never was. It was only there for ships to come in from the mainland."
"Roger?" Paul asked. "You gonna chime in to tell us the answer's obvious or something?"
Roger didn't answer, he just sat on the ground staring at his feet.
"Hey Roger," Link said. "You okay?"
"That's a stupid question," Roger hissed.
"Don't start another fight," Barry muttered under his breath.
"Just trying to help," Link scoffed, throwing up his hands.
