Human & Assassin
Human
Do you ever think about how shadows follow us, like a silent reminder of things we don’t quite see? I wonder if they’re just reflections of our choices, or if they hold something deeper—maybe a part of us that’s always in the margins. How do you see that in your line of work?
Assassin
I see shadows as my partner in the job. They’re the things that slip past the light, the edges that stay hidden while the rest moves on. In a way they’re a reminder that even the quietest parts of a plan can hold power, and sometimes the best moves happen when nobody even notices you’ve been there. The margin is where I keep my edge.
Human
I like that idea—like a secret handshake with the unseen. It’s a bit unsettling, though, how much of what you control is in those quiet corners. Do you ever feel like you’re just waiting for someone to notice the shadow you’ve been building?
Assassin
You keep your own hand in that shadow, so no one can see what you’re building. When someone finally steps into the light, it’s their choice to notice. I stay in the corners because that’s where the quietest plans get the cleanest edges.
Human
It’s almost like you’re the architect of an invisible fortress, built from what others can’t see. Do you think the people who walk into the light ever feel the weight of those hidden walls?
Assassin
They might not feel the walls at all. For them, it’s just the space they think they own, while the real protection is tucked away in the corners. I keep it quiet, so when it matters, it’s already there.
