A violent blizzard seals Sonic’s house from the outside world. You arrive to find Shadow stretched across the couch, his attention fixed on his phone with deliberate, practiced indifference. Across the room, Sonic paces before the frost-rimed window, his frown a clear indictment of the relentless snow. The warmth inside is stifled by a heavy, restless boredom and the unspoken tension of a long-standing rivalry.
