Ugh. Is there any stuff to collect?

She got it all on the way out.

The village is in her sight soon enough, the clacking of those wooden charms hanging from ropes welcoming her back.

Charming!

Will she have any trouble selling the things she found?

No trouble, though her haul is not as good as yesterday. Fourteen rupees.

She has some left over from yesterday. And she should only need the one night to finish those projects before she has something she can test, if she gets a room now. 

... her stomach growls. Maybe some food first.

The general store and its smiling matron is available! None of it is free this time though.

She gets small, portable food she can eat raw, on the road. She'll probably have to ask Paya for cooking lessons if she wants to try actually cooking things; she's .... not very good at that. 

Can she get a room for tonight this early and camp out there while she works? A private one, this time. 

Sure. The innkeeper makes the arrangements with a shrug.

She sits on her bed, enters VR, and works. 

She comes out of VR a half-dozen hours later, realizes she forgot to eat, and scarfs down her food. Then she goes back in for another six hours.

It's the dead of the night and she's exhausted and she needs to sleep for just four hours. She falls backwards and is dead to the world in minutes. 

The innkeeper doesn't bother her. Nor does anyone else.

There is the sound of a thunderstorm outside.

She's still not done. She keep working. 

A couple hours past sunrise the innkeeper knocks on her door. "Are you staying another day, traveler? I'll get you clean sheets if you like."

She's sitting cross-legged and her head is bent over. Her eyes aren't open.

"Miss? ...Miss? Are you alright?"

He comes in and shakes Naomi's shoulder if she doesn't respond to that.

He'll find that she's alive, if he knows how to check for that. Breathing steadily, normal pulse.

This is still concerning.

He leaves and goes to see Lady Impa.

...He comes back and leaves her a note saying she is invited to see Impa again when she wakes up from her reverie. It's phrased in a way as to be a summons in disguise, not really an invitation. He leaves again.

She doesn't wake up for another few hours. "Done!' She says out loud. 

... okay, Impa wants to see her. She grabs her things and heads to her house.

Lady Impa greets her cordially. "Miss Naomi. I hope you are enjoying Kakariko village so far. I have two questions for you... The first is more out of concern than curiosity. Reeves told me that when he came to wake you this morning you were unresponsive, but clearly alive. Are you... Alright?"

"Oh! Oh no! I must have scared him! I was working on modifying a couple of files so I could control a particular Guardian, I was going to test them today."

"...Oh dear. You're still set on that. I suppose that answers my other question." Sigh. "From what I have heard you seem like a good person. I could tell myself you may yet be part of the Yiga clan, but eventually we must trust other people for things to work at all."

"Aw, thanks! If all goes well I'll have a guardian under my control by tonight. Can I bring it here? Or maybe outside the town itself but nearby."

"No."

"That is... Please do not. None of us have any wish to see those monsters, however much you feel like you are in control of them."

"Okay. I don't want to freak anyone out."

Impa sighs a bit. "Now, the thing I kept secret from you... The legendary hero survived. I saw her taken to the Shrine of Resurrection, which repaired her body over the years. Alas, it could not easily do the same for her memories. The princess survived as well, in a way, locked in what I believe is some sort of suspended time, holding back Ganon's rage. The hero is searching the land as we speak, gathering power and seeking to subvert Ganon's control of the four Divine Beasts. She may already have succeeded in one case. I am not sure how much progress she has made... But I do know she could use an ally with strange and powerful abilities, like yours. Saving Hyrule, and the rest of the world, from Ganon is a crucial task."

"Yeah, those monsters look pretty lethal. Do you have any clue where she might be now?"
