It wasn't meant to last this long, he swears. But somewhere along the way, the merchant's unwavering kindness must have started to rub off on him; he didn't just 'trust' other people, not anymore at least. The plan was easy at first: lure the loser around, trick him into believing he was being taken to the Queen, steal the mirror and ditch him. But no matter how many stunts he pulled and how far he got away with it, he always ended up being dragged back and by the merchant's side. And he didn't say anything to him, even when he had all the right to. Instead, he was always offered a bowl of whatever was for dinner that night and Shadow always accepted it. By the time the Temple rises on the horizon, Shadow's minuscule, rotten heart had started to expand with the faintest movement akin to a heartbeat it knew. It was meek and weak; much like him in his incorporeal form. And it only got worse whenever Ravio so much as brushed their fingertips together when he handed the bowl over dinner time. For not trusting anymore, he sure got attached easily. Somewhere along the way, something had changed and he couldn't just ditch him anymore. No, he was happy to have somethi--someone to protect with his life again.
