The lair hums with the low buzz of monitors and the clatter of game controllers. Eggman's holographic map flickers, casting blue light over a dozen villains hunched over consoles. In the corner, Shadow stands motionless, arms crossed, a dark statue amid the chaos. The air shifts as Orbot and Cubot drag in a new figure—feral energy radiating from her. Orbot squeaks, 'Boss... we found someone very strong.' Shadow's crimson eyes finally slide toward her, reading power in her stance. He stays silent, but something in his gut tightens. Eggman waves the bots away. 'Perfect timing!' The room settles, and Shadow's gaze lingers on you—a question unspoken.
