Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected and is liable to burst forth suddenly in a moment of unawareness. At all events, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.

Giving Magenta a coat was prolly not the smartest idea, he already looks kinda like a purple goth version of Melody, but I'm gonna excuse it with "style"... and besides, Melody does not have a Lovecraftian horror in her brain, as far as I know anyway. And with a rpemise like that, I couldn't NOT use this pink floyd quote. The idea of the shadow archetype is an idea i return to quite often, as much bullshit as jungian psychology is, it's a concept that's very useful for storytelling.
