Afraid of being knifed.
That was Link's first thought.
If Jasmine knew about this, she would definitely knife him, right?
Well… not maybe, definitely.
Touching the part on his shoulder where the bite mark had disappeared, he felt a faint pain. He was unsure whether it was psychological.
He shouldn't act recklessly.
That was Link's second thought.
The teleportation portal exploded, but instead of dying on the spot, both of them were trapped in a spacetime disturbance.
Slapped by a Spacetime tide, they were blasted out of the disturbance and ended up near the Special Ruin World.
The subsequent strange occurrences both in the Special Ruin World and on Elise were very clear indicators of an existence or rule that had "arranged" all of this. Its magnitude far exceeded Link's imagination.
Link couldn't guarantee that the Dream-stealing Witchcraft would truly be able to help Elise.
