   Summary

   The Demon King has been defeated, but some things can't be undone. Link loses his arm to gloom, and Zelda's draconification can only partially be reversed. The two are left to navigate just how much they have been changed by what happened. It's a lot harder to do when all of Hyrule expects them to be the same.
