When Anna said the words "I love you", Shadow's mind flashed once more, this time with words rather than images.
"But love can be a strength too... a reason to fight for what you believe in, even though every sane and rational thought screams at you not to..."
"Anna...it...it was...love,"
The words flashed over and over in his head, making him realize something. When Robin had thrown the bomb, the sensible thing to do would have been to dive for cover...but he hadn't. Without a second thought, he had put his own life on the line to protect her. He had done it...because he loved her, and now he knew that she loved him.
I trust that some day, you will meet someone that can make you as happy as I once did.
"RRAAHHH!" he roared, struggling to break free of his bonds, his guilt trying to hold him back, but failing. One by one, the black tentacles broke, freeing his arms, then his legs, then, with a roar of defiance, he ripped off the tentacles binding his body, falling to the ground with a THUD.
