Chapter 13: Twilight

The lot of them laugh. It's easy, it's relaxed. It's the first time that they do something like that, just argue for no reason, use laughter to break the tension of a day gone to shit.

It's just a moment in the middle of their story, not one even worthy of remembering.

It's an ending, the last words of a tale.

A twilight for all of them, whether the sun be rising or setting, the light hangs on them, hesitant yet sharp.

And at long last, Twilight’s personal loop closes. Goodbye, friend. It’s been fun.

I remembered something today about an international assembly I attended about 20 years ago.

So, you know during those assemblies there are talks with clapping at the end of each.

Well at some point, some started to claps in rhythm so instead of a mess of clap clap clap you heard one big CLAP CLAP CLAP which started to spread on the assembly hall.

It happened sereval times until a “brother” during the communication talk instructed us to not do that anymore.

Some still did it but it died kinda fast.

Something about the same kind happened too, I think it was for the baptism talk? I’m not sure it was so long ago:

Some people from the arabic language group started doing ululations which is a traditional thing arabian women does for certain events like weddings.

Here’s an example:

And during the same communication talk they were instructed to stop it too.

Chapter 9: The Life of a Hero

"The sacred blade is forever bound to the soul of the Hero."

Well, ain't that the sorry truth.

Chapter 11: The End of the World

He is back on four legs, and it feels comfortable, natural. But he is no longer the wolf. No, now he is Link, Hero of the Twilight, and the people of Hyrule need him. He runs into the fire.

Twilight holds Red to him with one arm and wipes away his tears with the other. "It ain't right." "No," Green agrees, pulling back slightly, and offering Twi a consoling smile. "It isn't. A lot of things aren't." He laughs, and squeezes the Color harder for a moment before letting him go. "What do you know about things being wrong?" "More than I would like to," Blue answers, not quite looking at him.
