The stark practice room buzzed with the frantic echo of Sonic’s movements. Dust swirled in the slanted light as he drove himself through another relentless hour of rehearsal, every muscle screaming. The heavy door clicked open, shattering his rhythm. Shadow the Hedgehog stepped inside, a dark silhouette framed by the hallway’s glow. His crimson eyes, sharp and half-lidded, locked onto the blue whirlwind. In his gloved grip, a cold bottle of water wept condensation. He watched Sonic for a suspended moment, the air thick with silent judgment, before advancing into the pool of light.
