When Link awoke, there was an intruder: the criminal!

Before sunlight even had a chance to dance through the blinds of Link's apartment windows, her eyes blearily opened. Last night had been fun, if a little dirty. Not that dirty ever hurt, her new urges told her. But as she saw a shape move in the darkness of her room, the light sound of a creaking floorboard accompanying it, Link snapped to full attention, her drowsiness dropping away like a discarded cloak. Someone was in her apartment. As her eyes adjusted to the light level, she saw the intruder. They were clearly stunned to see her awake, and...they were a woman. Not just any woman, but if Link remembered correctly she looked exactly like the last woman who went missing.

After a silent moment, the intruder leapt at her, something in her hand. A weapon, most likely. Before Link even knew what she was doing, her hand struck out in a dazzling blow to the attackers wrist, making them drop whatever it was they were holding. Before they could recover, Link grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to the ground, putting her knees on top of the criminal as her hands found the item she had been holding. It was a conical seashell, covered in ancient runes and spells. She looked angrily at the intruder. "What is this? Are you the one who has been abducting people? Tell me."

At those last words, Link put more weight onto her knees, putting the pinned attacker in more pain. She looked shocked and destroyed, as though her world was crumbling around her. "I'll tell you, please, it's...it's magic! You just press it to someone's mouth-" Before she could finish, Link did exactly that to the young woman. She was angry beyond reason, and giving this fiend a taste of her own medicine sounded, if not poetic, just.
