"What I am does matter for who I am! Its pretty inherent considering I'm the only one of my kind like me I've ever heard about!" Shadow said, throwing up his arms in frustration. "Ya can't divorce the who and the what when the what is a pretty hard thing to make a who out of!"

"Ya don't have to say it, ya act like it. And if ya can't notice when there are weird thoughts, ya will never be able to resist mind control because the ones to fear are the ones who try to not be noticed. Not everyone is gonna go 'bleh, I control ya now,'" he said with a scoff. "And yer allowed to be hurt, yer allowed to be upset. Yer NOT allowed to put the responsibility of being in the situation on yer son. It was the person in control of Diagad and yer own inability to fight back, not Link."
