He wanted to talk to a Great Fairy. He wanted to ask her if she thought this was fair. The Deku Sprout was kind, but he didn't have any good answers, and Mido didn't respect him, so instead Mido pestered and threatened and bullied his fairy until she told him the smartest person she knew about. "But that's outside the forest," she said. "We're not going outside the forest. Remember what the Deku Tree told us -"

"Well, you don't have to go," said Mido. "I'm not making you. You don't have to be my friend. I don't need you."

She went still. She landed on a leaf. "Mido?" Her voice was small and hurt.

He said, "You talked bad about me to the Deku Sprout. You hate me now. You think I'm dumb. But that's fine, I'll find my own way." He thought, Poor Mido. Losing everyone and everything at once. No one even knows how brave I'm being.

"Mido, no. Don't you remember? I've been with you for hundreds of years. We did so many good pranks."

He said, "What does a hundred years mean to me? I can't tell years apart. I can't tell days apart. All of time was the same -"

"- and we were happy!" she said.

"And we were happy," he said, grim. "And now it's different, and we're not. How is that fair? That's what I'm gonna ask your Great Fairy. If we can only be happy when everything's the same, and things can stop being the same... why give us hearts at all?"

His fairy said, "Have you tried ignoring it? Ignoring how things change? The Deku Sprout is getting bigger. Eventually he'll look like the old tree, and time will be the same."

"And where's the new ocarina? And where's the person to play it?"

He was used to winning arguments. He was the Great Mido.
