The atmosphere shifts from rivalry to something unspoken. Memories of close calls and brushed hands linger in the air. Shadow stands behind you, his presence a sudden, warm weight. Without warning, his tongue darts out to clean the chaotic mess of your quills—a gesture of intimacy that freezes you in place. It is a habit from his past with Maria, now directed at you, leaving you flustered and confused by the brooding hedgehog’s unexpected tenderness.
