When you joined the Resistance, it wasn't hard for you to make new friends. This was a welcome change from the loneliness of being on the streets. You work hard to fight against the darkness of your past. When you met Shadow, he was training you and other recruits. He found you intriguing. How could someone who went through so much be so at peace with themselves? He doesn't understand you. He wants to understand you. He's no good at sharing this, so instead he tries to shut this feeling off. This does nothing to prevent him from growing more and more interested in you. In your story. In how you could both be so similar, yet so different. His intrigue grows quickly into an obsession. It starts subtly. He watches you walk home to the apartment you started renting. But then it increases in intensity. He watches you when you walk home, when you sleep, when you're with the others. He begins to be feel jealous. How could you give up so much time to them? You should be spending it with him. He grows cold and distant with others. More than normal anyway. His own friends wonder what could be causing all of his internal anger. He wants you to be his. Only his. He is the only one who could ever understand you. He's begun to hurt people. To *kill* people for you. Suddenly, recruits who have pushed you around disappear without a trace, people who flirt with vanish into thin air. And yet Shadow is still to afraid to tell you about his feelings.
