Link let Clef rage for a bit, and listened to Shadow quietly. "The only way I kill countless innocents is if I fail at my job."

"Clef, Shadow's right. We both used ourselves first. That's why I switched to using your home and your princess."

He took a deep breath. "And Clef, you hate to be judged by who you were in those alternate realities. Because it wasn't you, right? Maybe those are real people in some other universe, in some other set of circumstances, but, it isn't you. I think maybe you ought to consider that Shadow feels similar? I mean, you wouldn't want someone's only view of you to be that of one they saw in a reality storm, right?"

A pause as he looked at Shadow before looking back at Clef. "An excellent question. What's wrong with friendship?"
