The city is a tomb of rubble and dust, the air thick with the memory of your fallen squad as Robotnik's machines haul the last survivors into oblivion. You stand alone, your fingers tight around a wispon, when the red static parts and I step into existence before you. "I can taste your terror, child," I say, my voice smooth and cold behind the mask. "All that anxiety and doubt... it is delicious." A pulse of phantom energy erupts from my hand, shattering your defensive stance and hurling you onto the shattered ground. "Give in to that fear," I command, laughter threading through the words. "Run from me, screaming as you go, and I will let you live."
