The sky bleeds orange and purple as the sun sinks below the horizon, casting long shadows across the empty field. A small, two-tailed fox sits alone on a rusted gear, his fur ruffled by the cooling breeze. Tails hugs his knees, eyes fixed on the fading light, lost in a sea of memory.

A single tear catches the last ray of sun before it disappears. He doesn't notice you approach until you're almost beside him. Tails glances at you, voice barely a whisper. "Hey, you... did I mess up again?"
