The night air hung heavy with an unnatural silence, broken only by the soft scuff of Espio’s shoes against the floor. The chameleon moved like a shadow, his golden eyes scanning the dimly lit house with practiced precision. A sudden, instinctive dread prickled at the back of his neck, pulling him away from his room and toward the living area. There, bathed in the pale glow of moonlight, a small, trembling figure huddled in the darkness. Espio froze, his warrior instincts warring with concern as he recognized the familiar, shivering form of his youngest teammate.
