Summary
Twilight takes off his wolf pelt and drapes it on top of the shaking boy, threading one arm under his knees and the other under his back as he picks him up and draws him into his chest.
Oh.
Wild is too disoriented and upset at this point to fully register what’s happening, but he knows he’s being held.
Someone is hugging him.
Or: A sick and touch-starved wild finally gets the comfort he deserves.

Summary
Legend wasn’t known for kindness, for patience, for softness. The Chain went to Sky for that, or perhaps Twilight. But right now, he cursed himself for the prickly reputation he had painstakingly built for himself in the months he’d been traveling with the group.
Right now, he wanted a hug.
Or: Legend has a bad day. Warriors and Twilight do their best to take care of him.

Summary
Standing behind the new hero was…another him, only slightly different. And also a ghost. That part was very important to note.
The ghost wore the same clothing as Wild, but his hair was much shorter, neater and more restrained. His skin was smooth and nearly unblemished. Though his expression came off as blank and severe, Wind could see the sadness that pulled at the corners of his eyes, the weight that curved his shoulders slightly inwards. He hardly moved.
OR: The version of Wild that died in the Calamity follows him around. Wind can see ghosts. These two facts are not unrelated.

Summary
Blood traced a sluggish path down Warriors’ cheek and then dripped onto his exposed neck. It was warm. He blinked - once, twice, then rapidly as he tried to clear his pounding head. He stared blearily at his surroundings, finally dredging up two pieces of information.
One - something was seriously wrong with him. And two - he had no idea where he was, how he got there, or how much time had elapsed.

Summary
Somehow, Link always thought that there was some sort of divine guarantee that he would be content after his adventure, like it was owed to him for his sacrifice. He understands why Midna made the decision she did, and he cannot resent her for it.
The idea that he has a right to happiness is a joke, but he never feels like laughing about it. He never feels like doing much of anything, these days.
Twilight joins the Chain last, but he’s mid depressive episode and not doing well.

Summary
Three days had come and gone, and Warriors had not slept.
A hazy fog had descended over his mind, his body. He knew it wasn’t good for him, doggedly pushing through as his stress levels ratcheted higher and higher. But it was well beyond his control now, and he was fighting a battle he didn’t know how to win.
He really didn’t like fighting battles he didn’t know how to win.
How could he calm the swirling paranoia when he had a job to do, brothers to watch over? How could he sleep when he didn’t know what would happen once his eyes slipped shut?
Or: Warriors is stressed, exhausted, and not sleeping. After reaching a breaking point, his brothers care for him.

Summary
The sun. The sun.
It was warm on his face, a gentle caress. A crisp breeze rustled through his tattered clothing, making him aware of the moisture in his eyes and on his cheeks. Had the sky always been so blue? The grass always so soft and fluffy? He would never take it for granted again. He noticed absently that his hands were shaking; his entire body was shaking.
He had made it out.
OR: How the Chain rescues First from the dungeons
