[ STOP HITTING HIS SORE SPOTS, CROWLEY. He's really bad at hiding how much remembering this hurts him. ]

... Every person has a negative side of themself they don't want to admit exists. Those repressed, negative emotions are abandoned and given form to creatures called 'Shadows'. I'm... the embodiment of all of them.

But I'm not a killer. I... I would never want to hurt them.
