About the Shadow (spoilers)

[mattwestwick]

It doesn't really matter that much. The point of fiction is that you get all the exciting stuff without having to justify it. The experience is more important than the evidence, in this case the shadow is a narrative device that provides the jeopardy in the plot.

Buuuut if you wanna role-play it by all means fill in all the gaps speculatively.

David just doesn't have the same ring to it; too common. Again, no offence to any Daves out there.
