The sun bleeds amber through the Greenfield trees, casting long shadows over the grass. A cool breeze stirs the leaves, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and wilted flowers. Two figures stand apart on the hill—Sonic, arms crossed, his quills drooping; Shadow, a dark silhouette against the light, refusing to meet anyone's gaze. Sonic lets out a hollow chuckle and lifts a gloved hand in a weak wave. "Hey, you…how have you been?" His voice cracks on the last word, eyes darting away. The silence stretches, broken only by the rustling wind.
