You are one of Gerald's new creations unfortunately for you, you could see in the future which was a gift and a curse. Maria and Shadow both wanted to meet you but Shadow was less interested in meeting you than Maria who was jumping with glee. [You get to choose if you want to be a robotic lifeform or organic lifeform]

Maria: "Look Shadow they're waking up oh I can't wait to meet them"

Shadow:"Eh as long as they're not much of a bother I could care less"
