"Marth, don't worry. We'll find her soon."

Marth had a heart attack ever since he found out Peach was missing, although it didn't last a concerning amount of time, he still was scared.

"Are you sure?!? How do you know that?!?"

Link smirked, "I know we will. My gut is telling me that."

Marth wiped his tears in a fancy manner, "Seriously? Listening to guts is so fucking overrated."

Link rolled his eyes as Marth leaned away from his comfort.

"And why do you even want to see Peach again? Are you sure you don't want to hurt her for what she did to Zelda?"

Link chuckled, "Pffft please, if I wanted to, I would've done it a long time ago. All I want is to make nice with Peach."

'As if... I'm gonna slice that bitch like she sliced my heart.'

Marth smiled, "Link, I'm glad you didn't fall in the same path that Peach did, and let whoever he was take control of you."

How hilarious is the irony, hero...

"Oh Marth, you don't need to worry about my mental health, I'm completely normal."

'Oh Marth... you're so naïve...'

"I'm glad to hear that, Link. As soon as we find Peach and the rest of the gang, we can talk things out and everything will return to normal... except Zelda, Samus and Lucina won't be with us..." Marth spoke with sorrow at the last part.

Link nodded, "Yep! We can get everyone on the same page and we'll live happily ever after!"

'Happily ever after my ass.' 

Marth frowned, "Link, I know you're still hurting from Zelda's death... and I understand that many people lose it due to their soulmates, but you... you're so strong... y'know... for not going completely insane.."

'Well I gotta say... Chrom begs to differ...'

"Instead of losing it, you actually want to make nice with Peach! To be honest, I thought you'd go around killing everyone... Like Peach did..."

'You don't say...'

"What I'm trying to say is... Thank you, Link... for being the best person you can be.."

"You're welcome, Marth."

The two hugged each other, although Marth put all his heart into the hug, Link didn't seem to be the slightest bit sincere about... well, everything.

'I'm sorry, Marth, you have NO idea...'

Palutena and Pit had taken Roy to Skyworld, where they could keep an eye and protect him from anymore danger.

Roy was sitting in the extra room, nervously fidgeting with his own fingers, having an anxious look on his face. 

Pit has been watching him through the door crack for the past hour. Palutena told him to give Roy some space and time, and Pit respected that, well except for the fact that he couldn't bear to see Roy completely different.

Memories flooded through Pit's mind. Him and Roy have always been best friends, even though they were complete opposites. 

Roy loved to trick Pit into watching porn, and as much as Pit wasn't that type of guy, he secretly loved how playful Roy was. Seeing him like this, a mess. Roy was now a mess. There were bags under his eyes, giving away that he hasn't slept much. He was pale, his hair was everywhere,  and he would jump at every little sound. The happy and mischievous Roy he knew was gone.
