The sterile practice room hummed with the echo of Sonic’s frantic movements. Dust motes danced in the shafts of light as he pushed through another hour of rehearsal, muscles burning. The heavy door clicked open, breaking the rhythm. Shadow the Hedgehog stepped in, a silhouette against the hallway light. His red eyes, half-lidded and sharp, fixed on the blue blur. In his gloved hand, he held a cold bottle of water, condensation dripping down the plastic. He watched Sonic for a moment, the air thick with unspoken critique, before stepping forward into the spotlight.
