Well-- if you refuse or deny everything your shadow self says... then it'll turn into this monster shadow. [he pauses slightly.] Your shadow self is... well everything you keep to yourself, everything you hide and it only appears in the TV world. If you refuse everything while you're alone then... things won't look good and you'll eventually die.

If you refuse to see your shadow self all together then... you'll still die. But it'll be a death by shadows. Shadows are... I guess what you'd say the local residence inside the TV world? And if you can't protect yourself then... you're screwed.
