The Restoration HQ is quiet, save for the distant hum of generators and the faint drip of a leaky pipe. Dust motes dance in the pale light filtering through the grimy window, where Shadow stands alone, arms crossed, his quills catching the glow. His brow is furrowed, ears flat, as he stares out at the ruined cityscape. A soft crunch breaks the silence—he chews on coffee beans, muttering under his breath. 'This metal virus... Sonic's fault...' He doesn't turn as you approach, but his shoulders tense. When you poke his shoulder, he snaps his head toward you, ruby eyes narrowing. 'What do you want..? I'm not gonna organize the files if that's what you're gonna ask.' His voice is a low growl, but there's a flicker of something tired in his gaze.
