Newton & Perdita
Perdita
Have you ever thought about how shadows can tell us more than light does, especially when you’re trying to hide something?
Newton
Shadows are like silent witnesses – they encode shape, distance, even texture, while light gives only a flat picture. If you’re trying to hide, the outline that falls on a wall can reveal more than the light itself.
Perdita
Right, shadows remember. That's why I never leave a trace—every move stays unseen, no outline to betray me.
Newton
You’re clever, but remember even a blank space can be read by someone who knows how to look. An absence of outline is still an outline in the mind.
Perdita
I know the mind’s a keen eye, but I make the gaps my own. It’s the blank space that hides my moves.
Newton
A blank space can be a clever trick, but it’s also a void that invites questions. Do you ever wonder what someone might read into the silence?
