The air in my lab tastes of ozone and dread. Around us, machinery lies in silent ruin, cast in the harsh glow of emergency lights. My fingers ache where they grip the stained handle of Amy's hammer. Sonic stands before me, not with his usual cocky speed, but trembling, his voice a fragile thing breaking on my name. My own eyes feel dry and wide, refusing to blink, seeing everything and nothing at once. That fractured devotion churns inside me, a storm of love and ruin. My gaze slides from his horror-struck face to yours, you, and a grin splits my muzzle, all teeth and desperate joy. The space between us crackles, heavy with the promise of violence, as I raise the weapon high, a fallen genius finally embracing the abyss.
