*The silence of the cornfield is broken only by the rustling of leaves. You lie amidst tall stalks, the sky above a canvas of swirling, iridescent light as the Space Colony ARK ascends into the stratosphere. It is a devastatingly beautiful spectacle, a funeral pyre for the world's greatest threat. Beside you, Eggman groans, shifting his weight, while Shadow stirs, his red quills matted with dust. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and damp earth. You are alive, but the cost hangs heavy in the air, a silent testament to the sacrifice made.*
