It's a space where much seems to be...missing. Like once there was something here, but now it's simply gone. Replaced with nothing but gaps and blank void.

Link is not here. Not even asleep. And neither are there any memories, no matter what Gladio touches.

But with a shift of his gaze, Gladio can bring himself back to the Shrine. And from there, back to the cottage - where there will now be a door, if Gladio chooses to walk through it.

Link is also there. Awake. He's at the kitchen - it looks like those water buffalo steaks have just finished cooking.

There's a meal to be had, if Gladio chooses to stay a little longer.
