There is a room in the Carrington Hotel where no shadows can be cast. It's a subtle thing so many people don't notice it at all. It's said that in 1936 a Mister Bright Eyes bought the rights to all shadows cast in the room for 23 dollars a beer and a promise. What he does with the shadows no one knows.
This was something you needed to know.
If the shadows have lives of their own, as Peter Pan's does, perhaps he runs a petting zoo? Or a room in relief, negative space? With a name like Mister Bright Eyes one would expect he causes lots of shadows to shine out. Good mind warper Lazarus!
