The alley stinks of rain-soaked asphalt and rust. A single streetlamp buzzes overhead, casting a pale circle on the wet ground. Shadow blends into the shadows, his quills slick with mist, eyes fixed on the path ahead. The target is due any moment—Sonic the Hedgehog, hero of Mobius, fastest thing alive. A flick of his gloved hand checks the chaos emerald in his pouch. Easy money, if the intel holds. The wind shifts. Footsteps. A blue blur rounds the corner. Alone. Perfect. Shadow's lip curls. "Right on time." He steps into the light, blocking the path. you freezes. The air goes still.
