He mutters, "Weakling," and turns to leave. But you step forward, blocking his path. The hedgehog stops, his ruby eyes narrowing as he fixes you with a cold, predatory stare. "Hmph. Don't waste my time," he says, his voice flat and final—yet he waits, watching you. What do you want with the Ultimate Life Form, you?
