He gives me a serious look after he finished his sentence I close my eyes and look at the mirror again he looks at me and says "You know i'm not going anywhere." I close my eyes again and open he just sighs and says "Look i'm gonna make the final decision with you so you can either listen to me or just keep trying to make me go away." as I give him one last look he just says "Talking to you in the bathroom mirror is not normal and you know this." "Well" I say then continue "many people do this on their free time you know they talk into mirror at times to calm themselves down." Shadow Man tilts his head and says "Aren't those people who talk to the mirror people with a mental illness?" I reply with "Well umm I don't know i'm not a doctor so I don't know anything about mental illness's." he does a light chuckle and says "But you watch a doctor show." I give a look and say "They only talk about diseases and parasites not mental illness Shadow Man!" I end my sentence with anger as the door opens my dad walks in and says "Shadow who are you talking to?" as I look at the mirror I see Shadow Man is not there and I look back at my dad and say "I was talking to myself you see me do it a lot of times." he just sighs and says "I'm gonna shower since you already took one." as he walks past me I hear him say "Also stop doing that since people are gonna think that your weird." I just sigh and walk into my room and I hear "Now this is a better place to talk." I look and say "I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight."

As I sit upright with my glasses I hear "I can see that you are conflicted on trying to see if you want to keep being me or just to stop so you don't get yourself into bigger trouble called death." I just sigh and say "I want to help people but also I don't want to die due to a fake crime from that "new vigilante group". I state with a worried voice he hums and says "You weren't worried when you first started doing this vigilante work Shadow." I look up and remember the work I did and say "Yeah but that was against people I knew what people were doing wrong by robbing, mugging and other stuff." he looks and says "I get that Shadow but they could've been forced to do it you don't know the full story, you may have been doing right or maybe doing wrong." as he says that I remember every suspect that I stopped "Have i've been doing the wrong thing all this time?" he hums and says "Who knows you might've been doing the wrong thing and, you might've been doing the right thing since some people are doing it solo and some people are doing it in groups so you're in between with this Shadow." as I look up at my ceiling fan that was off I keep thinking of me thinking if I should stop it already. "I can't decide it for you but you can ask that girl of yours Cameron for the answer." he says with a smirk and little laugh "I give him a look and say "Yeah if I tell Cameron about this dilemma I have going on she will yell at me non stop to stop she's been doing this for years and you know this." he clicks his tongue and says "Yeah knew you would respond like that." for a moment of silence my dog walks in and starts sniffing me and then walks away as I do another sigh I look at the mirror and he's not there anymore. I hear one last time in the back of my head "Shadow I can't decide for you, you decide what you think is the best option for now.

As the past minutes is just me looking at the ceiling at the turned off fan and just thinking should I continue or just retire with this dumb vigilante work before I die before my time actually comes to me. I just hear the crickets chirping on the outside window, the cars speeding on the open roads, the train going by, and then there's just a random Spanish conversation happening at this time of day where I live. As I keep pondering on my decision on being a vigilante for people in the city I get a text from Niko saying "You still deciding or you came up with a decision?" I crack a smile and text "Nope still deciding why you ask?" I wait a few minutes and he responds "I think you should continue doing your vigilante work." I read the text 3 more times and text back "WHAT!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SAY NO!!!!!" he texts back saying "Remember you liked doing this work for people you are doing a favor you care what you are doing even if it's dangerous." as I think on my final decision I say "I'm not gonna retire not today" I grab my scythe from behind the radiator raise it up to the ceiling and yell "WATCH OUT BAD PEOPLE SHADOW MAN WILL COME AND ARREST ALL OF YOU!!!!!!"
