“Shadows” is a short animation that follows a newly awakened girl named Elle in a modern fantasy world filled with monsters.  In the past decades, shadow-like creatures emerged all over the world and at the same time people have started gaining unique powers.  Elle enrolled in the Academy as a legacy student, a place where they started training the Awakeneds and providing protection to the public, fighting night and day against the mysterious creatures to ensure everyone’s safety.  The Academy reassures the public the creatures are overall low-threat, unintelligent, and under control.  However, Elle uncovers the Academy might not be as reliable as she has always believed it to be during one of her first-ever “low-risk” missions.  An optimistic girl who once had full trust in the Academy ever since childhood now must unravel the secrets hidden in the shadows.
