Ah!
How did that shadow get here?
(Giggling) That shadow looks familiar.
Sally's right!
Huh?
Now that you mention it, that shadow looks a whole lot like me!
Look!
I have one too!
But where are the shadows coming from?
Hm.
Now, that's an interesting question.
Look!
The shadows are gone!
You're right.
And look, now they're back!
But why?
(Gasping) It's the Bright!
When his light shines on us the shadows appear!
Yeah!
The Bright's light shines everywhere on the wall except for where the shadows are.
Let me try something.
No shadow!
Shadow!
(Gasping) That's how they're made!
They happen when someone blocks light.
And that's why our shadows are shaped like us and move like us.
We're the things blocking the light.
So, even if we're alone we've got company.
Our shadows!
