"Long story, but I got this friend... who's a bear... and-" Okay, this wasn't gonna make any sense, but he had to try and sum it up in a way that didn't sound out-of-this-world.

Even if it was.

"He was really a Shadow the whole time, but he wanted to be around people. So he showed up lookin' like some kinda bear-clown and got himself a mind n' personality instead of tryin' to kill us. The minute the damn bear learned about 'scoring', he wouldn't shut up about it. He wouldn't give the girls a minute's peace in tryin' to flirt. He's a pain in the ass, but... gotta love Teddie, man. I miss him."
