Dear everyone,
Hi. My name is Link. I have been on the ship for seven months. [And still formats everything he writes on his MID like a letter, apparently.] A lot of things have happened. They've made me think a lot about something I didn't think about at all back where I'm from. But I still don't have an answer. So I thought I would ask everyone what they thought.
When is it OK to kill? I know sometimes you have to hunt in order to eat. So as long as you are not wasteful or mean about it, that's OK, I think. Sometimes you have to defend people or stop a bad person from hurting other people. I know that's very important. But sometimes it's good people hurting other people and they won't listen to you. Sometimes it's someone who doesn't know better. Sometimes you fight because you don't understand them and you think you are defending others. How do you know when it is right and when it is wrong?
One time my previous teacher Alice told me that it's hard even for grown-ups to know what is right and what is wrong. She said everyone has to decide for themselves. I am still thinking about what she meant every day. I think there have to be some things that are always good and some things that are always evil. But it's getting harder to know what those things are the more I think about it. So I would like to know what everyone else has decided for yourselves, if that's okay.
Thank you,
Link

[audio;]
wandering the ship again? She feels odd being apart from Link]You seemed troubled, Link. [Fi remains, as she always will be, the master of the obvious] Have recent events caused you to doubt yourself?
[audio; private]
He switches his format to audio to match Fi's, and also makes the conversation private. Still, his answer is... hesitant.]
Yes. I know I was chosen by the Goddesses to fight. But the people here and the things that have happened... I have been thinking about it a lot, because of them.
[audio;] + [private]
[her response is delivered the same as it always is and shares none of his hesitancy. What conversations she has on her own are for her; Link simply requires guidance now and this is something she is familiar with]
Back in our realm, you are the Chosen Hero of the Goddess. If you are summoned by the Spirit Maiden and my power was necessary in your battle, then you need not question yourself. The battle between the forces of Light and the Darkness that would threaten worlds cannot be negotiated. You were Chosen because you have a good heart, Link, one with a balance of Power, Wisdom and Courage. The Trials that you overcame and the treasures you received from them are proof of the faith the Goddesses have in you.
[she sounds almost proud at the end there]
However...
The Gods of our land have no sovereignty over this vessel. The choices that we must make here are no longer bound by the will of Her Grace nor the Golden Goddesses. These are the times where the people must decide for themselves, as your teacher has said. Do not let these events cause doubt in the actions of your past, Link, but do not ignore them as you head towards the the future. Approach them with the wisdom you have gained through your journey and the courage that sleeps within you now.
