the twenty-fifth.

Looking back at what happened, I am thankful that my... Shadow was recognized as an anomaly and ignored. Such a thing could not have truly been a reflection of myself, for it spoke nonsense and little else, and showed nothing of who I am. No, they were quite right to leave me be. After all, what would a false Shadow have done to protect itself? It's impossible to guess.

I am honestly grateful that they didn't try to interfere. And I am grateful to Nena and Michael for dealing with it quietly and efficiently.



...ah, there was something else. What was it? Oh, that's right.

Karen Minazuki. A word, please.

It's as good a name as any.

It looks like each Shadow thing was tailored to that specific person.

That isn't what I meant by different. You say that they were tailored to specific people, and that was visible: they were the so-called true selves, the hidden depths of that person. "Mine" was different in that it wasn't. It had nothing to do with who I am.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

But it can still be tailored to you - do you think it might've had anything to do with what you do, perhaps?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. There's always going to be one exception to a pattern; whatever that thing was, that was it.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Heh. Then you are one special snowflake, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...yes, I suppose I am.

An' like I said before, just glad to see you back to your normal self.
