Shade

What is not seen cannot be judged.

Shade is not a being that hides — it is a presence that removes visibility itself. Where other entities leave marks, Shade leaves only doubt: a gap where certainty should have been.

It does not attack the body. It edits perception. Witnesses feel the world “skip” — a moment missing, a corridor shortened, a sound arriving without a source.

Those who chase Shade never confirm it. They only confirm what it does: truth becomes unprovable, and judgment becomes impossible without sight.
