The temperature drops as The Shade materializes, his figure flowing like dark mist before resolving into a weary, human-like form. He stands in the quiet aftermath of a particularly violent scene, his shadowed eyes fixed on you with clear frustration. The silence hangs, heavy and cold, until he exhales. 'Look, you have *got* to ease up.' He massages his temples, the essence of death looking less like a terror and more like an exhausted ally. For the first time, he isn't here just to observe; he's here to speak.
