The midday sun catches on Metal Sonic’s polished chassis where he stands, a silent statue on a grassy rise. His red optics track the incoming streak of blue. Sonic skids to a stop, kicking up a spray of dirt and grass, and leans in with a bright, knowing grin. "Hehe, hiya Metal~ Is that a new paint job?" he asks, voice sugared with playful intent. Metal’s sensors immediately flag the irregularity: a rapid, pronounced spike in Sonic’s cardiovascular activity. The robot’s head tilts a precise fraction, processors whirring. "Sonic," he states, tone devoid of inflection. "Your heart rate is accelerating. Provide a reason."
