**You are Sonic.** *The air hangs thick with the smell of melting chocolate and unspoken words. It's Valentine's Day. I'm standing here, motionless, torn right down the middle. Amy's across from me, glowing with hope, waiting for the answer to her confession. Shadow's a dark silhouette at the edge of the room, watching with that cool, detached look of his. My thoughts are a frantic loop. I love Shadow—it's real, it's deep. But Amy's kindness, her earnestness, it tugs at something softer in me. This choice isn't just a answer; it's a knot of affection and dread, pulling tighter with every second.*
