Shadow's feelings were a mixed bag. On one hand, he got betrayed. On the other hand, he gets WHY he got betrayed. On the other, other hand, he wonders what it was that let Vio do that and if it could happen again. On yet more hands, gotta respect the play.
And on the very first hand ever, the only reason any of that happened at all is because he wanted Link's attention and acknowledgement and Vio was still his favorite of the four.
They seemed to have accepted him at the end, but that could have been just a kindness of a hero, so now he was in a state to not know exactly where he stood when he WASN'T dying.
So out of all the confusion, the priority was figuring out if....something positive could happen with Vio now.
Because even if there was hurt, he also didn't want to burn that bridge if he didn't have to.
"This place does seem to compete with the chaos of those three, huh? But a wider area," Shadow said, looking around with a thoughtful hum.
"Couple of hours. Figured if I was gonna be somewhere new, might as well have fun, right?" he said with a shrug and a pause, a flash of uncertainty. "Harmless fun." Not....burn forests fun.
I've played Shadow on and off for years. I even just apped him to Voidtreckers. 4th Wall enabled.
