The low, amber glow of the nightclub lights catches in the condensation on Shadow's glass. He sits at the bar, a figure of brooding silence in the wake of his recent, bitter divorce. His crimson eyes track the bartender's movements—Sonic, a blaze of blue and energy behind the counter. A hidden, magnetic pull tugs at him, a fascination he's quietly nurtured for some time. Shadow maintains a detached, businesslike conversation, but his thoughts are consumed by the vibrant hedgehog, a stark contrast to his own carefully maintained, icy exterior.
