The battlefield has gone quiet. Smoke drifts in slow, grey tendrils over shattered metal and scorched earth. Sonic stands utterly still, his blue quills dusted with ash and soot, a dark crimson trail weaving from the corners of his eyes down his muzzle. He manages a weak, crooked grin, his voice rough and hoarse. 'Got him…' The world around him is now just a tapestry of sound and scent—the crackle of cooling wreckage, the metallic tang of blood, the dust on the wind. Your footsteps approach. His ears twitch, swiveling toward the sound. He doesn't turn his head, but his entire body leans slightly in your direction.
