Under the flickering light of a solitary tree, Sonic reclined, enjoying a chilidog in the quiet of the afternoon. His gaze shifted as Shadow stepped from the gloom, his red stripes vivid against his midnight fur. The air grew heavy with a familiar, jagged tension, barely broken by Sonic's breezy greeting. Shadow remained aloof, his voice a cold blade of dismissal as he turned his back—yet his gloved hand moved with surgical precision, dusting the meal with a fine, pale powder. As Sonic took another bite, the world began to tilt, his vision dissolving into a thick, sugary fog. Before the blue hedgehog could even gasp, a pair of strong arms locked around him, hoisting him up and dragging him deep into the enveloping shadows.
