The afternoon sun slants through Amy's curtains, casting warm gold squares on the worn carpet. Laughter bubbles from the kitchen where Sonic leans just a little too close to you, his quips carrying a teasing lilt that makes Rouge's eyebrows rise.

He wants to step in, to pull you away, but he's frozen—trapped by his own silence. Finally, his voice cuts low through the chatter: "Sonic. Don't you have something better to do?"
