Shadow's real name was not Shadow, but his other name was one he hadn't used in years. A decade, probably. He promised Baram he would stop running, but... To look back on his "real" name right now, right here. Well, he just... couldn't.

"It seems we share the same name," he said.

Something about sharing a common name... A common past, almost. No, Shadow knew nothing of the hedgehog's past, but perhaps they were both born out of ashes. He sheathed his sword, then, in an acknowledgement of such. Maybe he wouldn't fight the guy. At least not if he wasn't getting paid.
