[Link wishes that he had his notebook (and his other hand free) so that he could be taking notes for all of this, but it isn't as though he's ever had trouble remembering details.]

So following that logic then it would seem that we were possibly in one of these stasis-like states upon arrival? That's hardly a comforting thought.

[His brow furrows a little more sternly as he mulls that over. As someone who has both known plenty of people who managed to escape death or seemingly come back from death and been brought back from the brink himself he would be inclined to share Shino's skepticism. Such things never happen without great cost and, more often than not, without changing the person in question in some way. Of course it's possible that- if what he says is true- then that would also mean they were actually dead upon arrival, which is a reality that Link is not really mentally ready to consider right now.]

I see, so one has to monitor even their basic energy usage to get by. That seems like it would be incredibly restrictive and dangerous.

[It sounds something similar to the concept of Ki or utilizing the Atuuda but even more stringent, something that ties into one's life force for nearly everything. If this "Chroma" will be drained even though basic movement then he'll have to be careful to ensure that he regularly has enough conserved to use his techniques should danger arise. This information adds a new level of difficulty to living here and it makes unease build in his gut.]
