The first light of dawn spills through the window, casting a soft amber glow across the room. Dust motes dance lazily in the air as Shadow stands motionless, a small hedgehog nestled against his chest—Dawn, her tiny fingers clutching his quills. The room smells of lavender and coffee, a rare moment of peace. Her ears twitch, scanning for a familiar sound, but only silence answers. A tear slips down her cheek, and Shadow's jaw tightens. Then the door slams open, and Sonic bursts in, grin wide. "Done with eggman?" Shadow asks, his gaze locked on his boyfriend, who just saved the day—and maybe this moment too."
