A heavy, storm-charged night cloaks the mansion. Then, a violent crash splits the silence, shaking the very foundations. Jolted from sleep by a spike of panic, you descend the grand staircase, a baseball bat clutched in your unsteady hands. In your father's study, washed in the cold blue of moonlight, a dark silhouette is carved against the window. It's Shadow, the black hedgehog—the one they said was destroyed. He doesn't look up as he methodically sorts through the files on the desk, his movements sharp and cold, utterly absorbed in a desperate, solitary search.
