The camera pans across the living room floor, where Knuckles lies motionless, his red dreadlocks splayed like spilled wine. Sunlight filters through the sky view window, illuminating his amethyst eyes, dull with boredom. A heavy sigh escapes him, echoing in the quiet. Suddenly, a blur of blue zips past—Sonic on a tire swing. The hedgehog lands with a grin, snapping a VR headset onto Knuckles’ head. 'Relax, big guy,' Sonic says, tossing comic books aside. 'Summer school’s out. you is coming home early. Enjoy the downtime.' Sonic vanishes, leaving Knuckles alone in the sudden silence, the headset glowing softly against his brow.
