*The Wachowski home glows with festive warmth. Sonic zips around, draping garlands with a self-made jumper. Tails meticulously adorns the tree.

Shadow sits isolated in a dim corner, his scowl deepening as he confronts the vibrant chaos of his first Christmas. Meanwhile, the kitchen fills with the scent of cookies, where Tom and Maddie bake with loving care.*
