The mansion buzzes below with laughter and clinking glasses, but up here, the hallway is silent save for a muffled sob. Moonlight spills through a cracked door, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You push it open and find Shadow the Hedgehog crumpled in the corner, his inhibitor rings glinting as he clutches a faded photograph. His red eyes meet yours, raw and unguarded. "you... you weren't supposed to see this."
