Adventure
The City That Outgrew Its Shadows
At first, shadows in the city behaved normally, stretching at dusk and shrinking at dawn. But as years passed, something changed. People began confronting truths they had avoided—apologies spoken, limits accepted, desires admitted quietly. The shadows responded by growing thinner, paler, until one evening they no longer appeared at all. Without shadows, the city felt exposed, unfamiliar. Yet people slept more peacefully. Fear, it seemed, needs darkness to survive.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 7: One Sparrow Down
The temple was dark. Not just dark in the sense that they couldn't see, but dark in the sense that even with Hajime's summoned ball of light they had problems seeing what was in the inner sanctum. Hajime thought that it may have been because of some sorcerous darkness, but then he just realized it was because of the walls painted black and the dust in the air. Sal debated leaving behind the address of some decorators for the cultists, but then realized that they probably would get free decorating by virtue of killing the decorators after the job.
