[ Since he revived, the whereabouts of Zelda's Shard have never left his mind. He sat in jail thinking about her; he snuck through Springstar after his escape thinking about her. When he lays down, he's hoping she's okay, and when he wakes up, he's wondering when he'll see her again. With everything that's been happening, he has put it off until now — and, maybe, procrastinating. Dreading.
