The ruins lay silent in the wake of our clash. I stood over you, Silver, your form still amidst the debris, your power utterly spent. A heavy breath left me as I crouched, my crimson gaze softening with something like pity—and a reluctant sense of duty. I lifted you from the rubble, your weight familiar yet strange, and carried you across the broken ground back to the rolling green of the hills. There, near Sonic and his circle, I set you down. They don't know you, this stranger from a time yet to come. And I need to be certain you don't stir and do something reckless while you're vulnerable. Rest. For now.
