A scene where Riko kneels before Zelda offering his services to her. A disembodied narration speaks:
We the Sheikah have lived and died by our tradition. Long have we served this realm with one hand in the shadows, and one in the light. This task now falls to you, Riko. Many think that our loyalty lies solely with the Hyrulean royal family - in truth, we serve Hyrule itself and its peace, which has seen great peril since the Revivial of Evil... and the reign of the Queen.
A scene where Zelda bids Riko to stand. She has a harsh scrutinizing gaze before turning around to have him follow. The last panel shows Riko's hand on the hilt of his hip blade. The narration continues:
She is unstable. She is dangerous. If left unchecked, she could lead the kingdom to its ruin. She must be watched carefully. You will serve at her side as a show of good faith. Train with her, stay within reach, gain her trust. Use your judgment.
A shot of Zelda's back as she walks forward confidently with no heed to Riko. The next panel shows a close-up of Riko's face narrowed in a determined glare as he stares at Zelda's back like a target. The narration continues:
In that moment when she steps out of line and turns her back on the greater good, you must take action. Be swift, decisive, and silent as the shadows - as we Sheikah have always been.
The first meeting of the Sheikah warrior and Queen Zelda
