[quote=VitaVitaAR] I... suppose to some extent that is the case and all, but, um... hmm. I'm trying to find a medium where I have something to write but it doesn't end with Midori trying to kill her shadow and an actual fight breaking out, um. [/quote] That's problematic, because I thought my observation was an incredibly good one. I mean, you can still do it and not end up fighting your own shadow, it just might take longer. Just remember a Shadow is only waiting for you to say that it's not you, so the acceptance can either take a long time, or you reject it outright.
