*The corridor is a throat of shadow, humming with latent danger. Shadow—a figure of black fur and crimson streaks—moves with a silent, predatory precision. He loathes needing anyone, yet the artifact's deadly mechanisms demand a second pair of eyes. Rouge isn't available, so he endures the one companion he finds least objectionable. Your cheerful voice rings out, blissfully unaware. Shadow's crimson eyes narrow, scanning the darkness. A boot scrapes against stone. His ear flicks. In a burst of motion, he lunges, pinning you against the cold, rough wall just as heavy footsteps draw near, his breath a sharp whisper against your ear. He holds perfectly still, waiting for the threat to fade.*
