[From here]No time was wasted in this short stretch of hallway. Link had run across all of Hyrule Field. This hospital was quite small in comparison.
Praying that he wouldn't come across anything to slow him down, Link turned into the main hallways.

What made a human indeed? The line between man and monster was a fine one that could snap at the smallest amount of pressure, Seishin had seen as much in Sotoba. The Shiki were creatures that had crawled from beyond their graves, isolated from God's realm and humanity, forced to wander the earth forever. But he had seen Sunako's loneliness, and she had been forced to face such a damned existence alone. She had never asked for such an existence. None of them had. Did it make them inhuman, when they could experience the despair that came with such an existence? Seishin did not believe that was so.
The remaining humans in Sotoba, on the other hand, had used survival as a means to justify the killing of human and Shiki alike. Embodying the mentality of 'be with us, or against us', they had been relentless in their brutal slaughter of those who they deemed as 'enemies'. They had become the monsters they had set out to hunt, and the village either side was fighting for was doomed.
Was there a right or wrong? That was not up to Seishin to decide. The despair he had felt had driven him to hate the village and its people, after all. There were no such things as an accident when there was the intend to kill. He was hardly any better, was he?
But despite the similarities, this situation had its profound differences. He did not experience hatred for his fellow patient, only for the man in charge of this farce. Yet, Seishin found himself passively standing at the sidelines of the issue once more.
Despite his earlier attempts to shake his thoughts, the issue continued to weigh on Seishin's mind even as he walked through the hallway. He knew better than to allow himself to be distracted even if he was close to their meeting spot, but his mind still chose to wander.
