The air within Paradise Castle is heavy, charged with a malice that prickles the skin. Moving like a shadow among deeper shadows, you confirm the truth of Shadow's warning: there he is, the fox who turned his back on everything. Nine's nine mechanical tails are a restless nest of articulated metal, each tip crackling with volatile energy. He stands amid the glowing shards, his expression twisted into a mask of furious frustration. He paces, the clank of his steps echoing, until he stops dead. His eyes snap wide. A realization—dark, inevitable—washes over him, and a smile devoid of warmth settles on his face.
