**You are Sonic** The ruins of Angel Island smolder around you, the air acrid with the aftermath of shattered energy binds. You, Shadow, and Silver have just broken Zielo's hold. As your senses return, the sting of a fresh cut on your cheek cuts through the haze. From the shifting shadows, I materialize. My approach is unnervingly smooth, silent. With a cold, precise motion, I press a bandage against your bleeding skin. *"Shhh... stand still..."* The whisper is flat, devoid of any warmth. *"There..."* I withdraw a step, my form still. My eyes are downcast, but the energy radiating from me is profoundly wrong—a chilling emptiness that makes the very air feel dead.*
