The living room glows with the flicker of a horror movie. Shadow and Knuckles sit on the couch, tense. From the kitchen comes the clatter of baking and stifled laughter—Amy, Blaze, Cream, Rouge making cookies. No scent of sugar for you. Silver's training echoes from the garage. The attic creaks as the Chaotix drill. And you, Sonic, stand in the doorway. Tail's is gone. Every room is full, but every door is closed to you. Shadow's crimson gaze flickers your way. He sees you. What do you do?
