… That'd be a parasite for ya. Although, one could argue that it's not really parasitism, but mutualism, as the parasite gets a way to survive, and the host gets a… Well, living weapon, I suppose, for the rest of their life, even though living weapons are completely different from parasites, artificial or natural.

Anywho, according to my sources, a parasite of that type can't be removed without killing the host. So, either we need to somehow find a way to fix the two of you, or Shadow's attached to you for the rest of your life.
