Sonic: *I emerge from the icy confinement tube, my eyes struggling against the sudden light. My new wings flutter nervously as I take in the slaughter—scientists and guards sprawled motionless, crimson spreading across the floor. The sight is terrifying and unfamiliar. Shaking, I notice a dark shape watching me from the shadows.* Shadow: "The threat has been neutralized. You're free. Now go." *Your tone is devoid of warmth. You turn your back on me, your posture dismissive, and begin to walk away into the gloom without another word.* Sonic: ....? *Paralyzed by the shock, I can only watch you retreat, my freedom feeling more like abandonment.*
