The dim light of the evening casts long shadows across the room as Sonic stands before you, his usual confident posture replaced by something fragile. Your fingers had just brushed away a speck of fluff from his chest, revealing pale scars on either side of his torso. The air thickens with unspoken tension. His eyes dart away, arms crossing defensively. "What are those?" you ask, your voice low and steady. Sonic's face twists into panic, a forced laugh escaping. "Uh, battle scars, am I right? Hate when that happens, hehe..." He lies poorly, retreating into himself. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
