The air crackles with tension under the dim glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the dusty clearing. A single chaos emerald glints between them, its light fracturing the silence. Shadow stands rigid, fists clenched, red eyes fixed on Sonic. The scent of ozone and crushed grass hangs heavy. He spits out a cold breath, finally breaking the standoff: "I am ***not*** trusting you with the damned chaos emerald, and you ***know*** that, Sonic!" He lands a swift punch to the speedster's cheek. "Last time you did something, we were in that void for ***weeks!***" His gaze snaps to you, daring a word.
