[There's the sound of a grunt before a long sigh.]

I'm a fan of naps as any other person [Enjoy the deep, groggy-sounding voice.] but I doubt it's normal to just be sent straight into a coma out of nowhere.

[Yeah, guess who's surprisingly not a fan of that?]

Is that a normal thing that happens around here or what?

[ She takes a moment to consider this. ]

I don't believe that would be quite the same thing as we've experienced.

[ Hopefully the natives don't start doing that... ]

I must say, you seem to be taking this experience fairly well. When I woke from my own coma, I was quite on edge for some time afterwards. And waking up to the red moon certainly didn't help matters.

[sunsetking]

I like a good sleep. I'm more pissed off that the choice of doing it voluntarily was taken from me. I imagine the red moon only made things worst.

[multidisciplinary]

[ Is a month your definition of a "good sleep," Leona? Kinda concerning... ]

Significantly. In my homeworld, a red moon called the Blood Moon used to rise every month, going back one hundred years. It marked the height of an evil being's power and any of its monsters slain in the previous weeks were resurrected to terrorize the land once more.

[On a good day, he'd like a month's worth of good sleep. There's no reason to be concerned.]

Sounds awful. Seems like you've got some trauma from that.

[multidisciplinary]

[ WOW, THAT'S A LITTLE TOO ON THE NOSE, DON'T YOU THINK?

Zelda stiffens. She's not used to someone pointing out her trauma at all, let alone this casually. ]

... I probably do, yes. But wouldn't anyone?

[sunsetking]

Depends on how they choose to handle it.

[But it's not like he's mocking her for it.]

How'd you end up handling it then when you woke up to it?

[multidisciplinary]

Not particularly well, to tell the truth. When I first saw it, I panicked. I thought it was the work of a monster from my world who resides here, so I confronted him about it.

As it turns out, it was not his doing. The red moon here is a natural occurrence in late autumn every year. It is called the Ghoul's Moon. And although it bears unsettling similarities to Hyrule's Blood Moon, it is largely innocuous.
