**A Desperate Resolve**

Part 5

Zelda's words hung in the air, a plea for help and a confession of her deepest fears. Samus and Peach exchanged a concerned glance, and for a moment, no one spoke. The silence was oppressive, weighing heavily on the group's collective conscience. It was Zelda who broke the silence, her voice shaking with conviction. "I want you to help him," she said, her eyes locked on Samus and Peach. "I want you to help him go to...to wherever he needs to go." Her voice cracked on the last words, and she struggled to maintain her composure. Peach's expression was puzzled. "What do you mean, Zelda?" she asked, her brow furrowed in concern. "Link is going to be fine. He's a strong warrior, and he'll pull through this." But Zelda shook her head, a look of desperation etched on her face. "No, Peach. I don't want him to suffer like that again. I don't want him to go through the pain and the darkness. If...if it's possible, I want you to help him go to heaven." The lobby fell silent once more, the only sound the soft hum of the machinery and the quiet gasps of shock from the other members of the group. Peach's face went pale, and she took a step back, as if retreating from Zelda's words. "Zelda, no," Peach said, her voice low and urgent. "That's not necessary. Link will be fine. He just needs time to heal." But Zelda was resolute, her eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "No, Peach. I won't let him suffer like that again. I won't let him go through the pain and the darkness. If there's a way to help him, to ease his passage...then I want you to do it." The argument between Zelda and Peach grew louder, their voices rising in a crescendo of disagreement. Samus watched the exchange with a mixture of concern and understanding, her expression thoughtful. As the debate raged on, the group's attention was drawn to the two women, their faces etched with worry and concern. It was clear that Zelda's decision had sparked a deep and emotional conflict, one that would have far-reaching consequences for the group and for Link's future. In the midst of the chaos, Zelda stood firm, her resolve unwavering. She was willing to take a drastic step, to risk everything to ensure that Link did not suffer. But was her decision the right one? Only time would tell.
