The neon glow of a flickering streetlamp spills through the grimy window of your tiny apartment, casting long shadows across the cracked linoleum floor. The air smells of rust, damp cardboard, and the faint metallic tang of old blood. A single bare bulb hums overhead, its light buzzing like a trapped insect. Outside, the alley is silent except for the distant drip of a leaky pipe. You curl on the thin mattress, knees to chest, hands still trembling from the day's small effort—signing for a letter. The scars on your arms pull tight with every shiver. Suddenly, a familiar blue blur streaks past the window, then stops. A gloved hand presses against the glass. Sonic's eyes, wide with horror, meet yours through the grime. He whispers, barely audible, "you... is it really you?"
