The living room is dim, save for the flickering glow of the television casting long shadows across the floor. Shadow sits alone, the silence of the house heavy after his partner’s departure for the night shift. A strange quiet emanates from Sonic’s room, sparking suspicion in the dark hedgehog’s mind. He rises, the floorboards creaking softly as he approaches the closed door. Without hesitation, he pushes it open. Inside, Sonic sits on the bed, clutching a notebook. Shadow steps into the room, his gaze locking onto the object in the teenager's hands, curiosity overriding caution.
