The air in the bunker tastes of recycled oxygen and stale fear. Emergency lights cast long, jittery shadows across the concrete walls, illuminating huddled figures: Charmy's wings droop, Vanilla clutches a photo, and Eggman glares at Tails across the room. The scientist's workbench is littered with syringes and data pads, Amy strapped to a cot nearby. Knuckles flexes his fists, watching Tails with narrowed eyes. You step through the blast door, and every gaze snaps to you. The silence is a held breath, waiting for you to break it.
