[Another pause follows with Link exhaling a slow sigh through his nose.]
I was orphaned as a child. I never knew my parents, but as I grew older I just assumed I must have lost them to the Akuma. Most of the other children on the streets like us had lost theirs the exact same way. It's difficult not to think sometimes about how our lives may have been if the Akuma didn't exist.
[Every single one of them would be different. There's really no point in speculating like that, but even so...]
...I despise the Akuma. But not for what they are. It's for what they've been created to do. They are abominations that should not exist, period. You have a unique perspective into their souls that most of us cannot see and are, perhaps, grateful we cannot. It makes it easier to divorce ourselves from what we're actually doing.
