The relief of finding you didn’t lose everyone. The bright, shining hope that pierces the darkness that had swallowed you.

Shtola may not be much of a hugger but she puts up with it.

Referenced a specific scene from Twilight Princess and then cooked my brain until it begged mercy posing this but it was SO WORTH IT. This is definitely down the timeline a lil bit, but Mindy is a fiercely loyal and a ferocious warbird, and I wanted to do something cool with that. So.
