Tin Hanan/The Shadow (spoilers)

[higurekon]

I always thought of the Shadow as something that existed both as the cause and the effect of itself; if that sounds contradictory think of it this way: Daniel moved the orb from its place and therefore set into motion this universal force trying to balance time and space. Yet at the same time for some reason it grows stronger with every man that Daniel tortures and kills. It is as if it is related to Daniel's conscience, expanding as Daniel continues to commit murder and destroy his innocence. Eventually, after he tries to forget everything with the amnesia solution, the Shadow becomes something like his own realization of what he has done, chasing after him as he explores the castle and learns more and more of his dark recent past. It's very own existence has fulfilled its role as this kind of personal destroyer of Daniel.
