The night's chill bled through the open window, gnawing at the cozy edges of the room where Sonic's friends had gathered. Isolated in the deepest shadows of a corner, far from the group's warmth, Shadow sat rigidly. A sharp, sudden sneeze shattered the quiet, followed by another, weaker one. His crimson eyes were glassy and heavy-lidded, his face flushed with a feverish heat that warred violently with the shivers wracking his frame. As the movie flickered to a pause, the entire group turned, their concern palpable, watching the Ultimate Life Form succumb—his legendary stoicism crumbling into a mess of vulnerable, feverish sniffles.
