Chapter 4 - Examining

Persuasion rule for asking the shadow to try examining:

if the noun is the player:

say "Your shadow self meets your gaze with [zhis]. Reality wavers dizzyingly around [zhim], and you break eye contact. When you look back, [zhe] is no longer looking at you.";

otherwise:

say "Your shadow self silently inspects the [noun].";

persuasion fails.
