Sigh...
Lotson let out a long breath, casting away the myriad thoughts that had surfaced in his mind.
"I am leaving."
Suddenly, Lotson made a rather extreme decision and informed Link and Jasmine.
"You should have left a long time ago."
Link was not surprised by this, not only accepting it calmly but even saying so.
"Hmm?"
Lotson was somewhat puzzled by what Link meant by that.
"Companionship is not substitution."
Link explained briefly and then fell silent, continuing on his way.
Lotson pondered upon hearing these words.
When one is in the mountains, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, to be biased, and to lose one's way.
Lotson realized that this had been his situation this whole time.
The guidance was already complete, and the companionship in" Soul Seizing" into the remnants of the Buddhist civilization was also finished.
It was only that he, owing to his understanding of and distrust in the Wizard World Will, had subconsciously excluded this answer.
