Random Thoughts About The Game (Spoilers)

[Klarden]

About the shadow - i think it does consume orb holders... in a way. I think, it was called a "shadow" for a reason - orb shines brightly, the one holding it casts a shadow, a shadow that follows the holder. so, if it grows closer as Daniel guilty conscious grows heavier, it may in the end "consume" him. but from "normal"/outside point of view, he might just disappear

oh, and the ladder - logical explanation was already given. But given the fact, that not everything as what Daniel sees, maybe there was no pipe at all)
