Well...everyone has a "soul", right? Shadows are a manifestation of it. Most of the time they don't manifest at all. Due to circumstances, though, some shadows have been tearing free of their owners, leaving the bodies as empty shells still barely clinging to existence.
But for some people, certain triggers can cause them to emerge in a beneficial way. The Shadows are connected to a higher existence, and can use magic and physically fight. That's when they're called "Persona".
Anyone with a working COMP that has the Demon Summoning Program can use magic. It has to do with the specifics of making contracts with demons, I think.
... Unfortunately, there were some people in the Lockdown who got COMPs who really shouldn't have.
N-nice sheep...
Good sheep.

But at least we can be glad that we dreamed it.

...There's technically no demons in my world, though. Just Shadows.

I know you mentioned the Lockdown before, when we were both hallucinating. What exactly happened...?
