With the day finally over, it was time for everyone to get some sleep...or at least try to, considering everything that had transpired. Taking residence in either inn, the curtain fell on the second to last night here in Hyrule.
---
He can’t sleep.
He tosses and turns, trying to get comfortable, but he can’t. It’s not because of the bed, really; if anything, this Rito feather bed is the comfiest thing he’s ever slept on. Even being outside, the air here is crisp and pleasant, and he’s not too cold or too hot. No...the reason he can’t get any sleep is because of the thoughts plaguing his mind. They haven’t been this bad until now.
All his life, he’s been convinced he’ll do great. He’d explore the great unknown, be a hero to thousands, if not millions of people. Sure, he may have done some questionable things to get there (forging documents usually is frowned upon), but he was on his way, training diligently in order to make his dreams reality. That got him scouted to a phenomenal school, and eventually brought him here, to the Coalition, where he was going to do more than he’d ever dreamed. Saving whole worlds? Universes of people who he could help, who would praise him...God, this was all he could have hoped for.
And then...it all came crashing down.
He failed his first mission. Or did he succeed? He doesn’t know. He was too angry at the time to remember what he did. He left her behind, and who knows how she’s been this whole time. He’s been trapped here in Hyrule, while this Fiamma guy has all the time in the world to cause as much chaos and havoc as he wants. He didn’t do anything last year, apparently, except rush into the wrong votes and ruin things for everyone. And today, nine people had died. Nine! And he didn’t do anything!
He isn’t sure what he’s feeling now. Guilt? Guilt at staying on the sidelines so often, when he should be doing more. He’s a man, and not just that-he’s a member of the Coalition. He needs to take charge of the situation, damn it! There’s got to be something he can do. There’s got to be something-
…!
He hears a noise. Sitting up, he looks outside the inn. Someone is walking towards them, their weapon drawn. It’s as if they’re sleepwalking, their movements are so hypnotic. Just then, he remembers-Ganondorf said there was one more person among them that was killing people. No way...it couldn’t be! How? How could-
No. Wait. Things come to mind, little things here and there that seemed like they meant nothing, but really proved it all. God, how could he have been so blind?! The final killer has been in front of him this whole time!
He can’t care less about who their intended victim is. He can’t care because he won’t let there be another victim. It ends tonight. He gets up out of bed, takes his bow, and aims a Shock Arrow. Once they’re paralyzed, he plans to charge them and take them down.
Finally, it’s time to set things right.

Sleep took a while to get to, but finally, you were all able to sleep fairly well. The inns provide breakfast, and you all decide to meet on Revali’s Landing.
“Good morning, everyone,” Dell started.
“How are you all-”
“Excuse me.” Kass stepped forward, a folded cloth in his wings.
“I found this early in the morning, caught in a tree. I believe it belongs to one of you?”
Margreet walked to the Rito, picking up the purple item. Unfolding it, the galaxy print inside it was unmistakable.
“Ah, Kaito must have lost his jacket! Here you go, Kaito!”
She looked around the group.
“Uh...Kaito?”
Kaito Momota was nowhere to be seen on the landing. Immediately there was a sense that something had gone very, very wrong.
“Shit!” Dell looked out over the mountainside.
“Meeting postponed! We need to find Kaito!”
Everyone scoured Rito Village-the lake, the mountain, the fishing spots, the stable...but the Ultimate Astronaut was gone.
“Damn it! Not another one…”
“It’s...well, it’s not all right, but I’m sure we’ll find him,” Margreet said.
“In the meantime... we need to hurry.”
“...you’re right.” Dell turned to the group.
“We kept today’s plans a secret in order to outsmart Caster and his ninjas. The fact that they turned up yesterday was not good, and we can’t afford them meddling today.”
“And what exactly are we doing today?” Zelda asked.
“...a lot. First off, I need to go to Akkala Tech Lab in order to pick up a flare for tomorrow. That’s the signal we’re using for the Divine Beasts to attack. On top of that, I’m gonna see about getting you guys some Ancient Weapons, since they take Guardians on really well-and believe me, there’ll be more than enough of those in Hyrule Castle.”
“And I’m going to Korok Forest,” Margreet said.
“Zelda, I’ll need you to come with me.”
“Me? Well, all right…” Zelda seemed a bit disappointed to not visit the laboratory.
Margreet smiled at the others.
“I will need a bit of help today, as well. We both will, with what we're doing.”
There were your options for the day. Wherever you went, it was clear something important was happening, and then finally, tomorrow, would be the culmination of it all.

This morning also brought a sense of urgency to the island. With the group all staying behind for the final orb, it was time to get a move on.
“Our plan is simple,” Lee said.
“Whoever thinks they can be quiet sneaks up onto the cyclops and steals the orb. The rest of us are first on standby in case the thing wakes up, then we attack the camp up by the pedestal. Once we get all that done, we get into that Shrine and go home. Got it? Good. Now, who’s going to climb that fatass?”
