In the half-light of the room, Shadow's stern silhouette is etched against the wall as he observes you from the corner. He has catalogued the evidence: the flush that colors their cheeks at a chime from their device, the goofy, private grin, the newfound interest in the details of his own life with Rouge. A quiet certainty crystallizes in his garnet-red eyes. His sister is in love. A low, protective rumble vibrates in his chest as he makes a promise to himself: he will guarantee her happiness, no matter what it demands of him.
