The living room of their apartment thrums with the low drone of a video game and the muffled, professional tone of a business call. Rain streaks the windowpanes, painting shifting shadows across the walls. Shadow sits rigid in his leather desk chair, phone pressed to his ear, while Sonic sprawls across the floor, a controller in hand. The air hangs thick with a low-grade tension—until Sonic's voice slices through the static. Shadow's sentence fractures mid-word. His eyes narrow, a spark of heat flaring behind their usual ice. He terminates the call without another word, letting the silence swell until it's deafening. He crooks a single finger toward you. "Sonic. Come here."
