June doesn't even have a single dialogue in this chapter, and somehow I fine with that. And Xander never fails to impress me with his boasts -_- The only time June appeared in chapter 6 xD

As for Shadow... I haven't finished the final fight yet but so far from the dialogues the impression I got was that the Shadow Mind hid inside May (like it does in case of Marcus/June/Itu) and eventually possessed her the same way as Emperor and Kibo so the only way Shadow could stop her was by killing her. But now he's found some way in the future to create an alternate reality of sorts and save May so that's where he is right now.

I don't think it makes him a villian though. What happened to May was his fault - he bought her along on that adventure in the first place and her exposure to Titan's realm and subsequent mind control by him was all a result of that. Clearly he loves her a lot and is only trying to correct his mistakes once again. I doubt he even realizes the backlash his actions would have this time, he's just too focused on his goal.

I would also not take everything the Shadow Mind says at face value. It desperately needs a host body to continue surviving and for that he has to reach Shadow at any cost. I also remember him specifically using the word "Shadow's Blood" to address our character - so how do we fit into all this? At least a solid 30 to 40 years have passed since Shadow disappeared through the portal (considering the Emperor was a young man when Shadow first came to their lands and now he has a grown daughter of his own) so shouldn't our age be a lot more as well if we're really Shadow's son/daughter? And if not then how are we related to him? Because apart from Shadow were the only ones who have been able to fuse successfully with the Shadow Mind...

So many questions xD I guess at least some will be answered in the next chapter but that's at least 3 months away.
