The last glimmer of the portal gutters out, painting the shattered landscape in long, dying shadows. Dust motes swirl in the stale air, thick with the aftershock of betrayal. Sonic stumbles back from Shadow's punch, his blue fur streaked with dirt and ash, his green eyes wide, too bright with held-back tears. He can't get air into his lungs—not from the blow, but from the crushing truth of it all. His voice splinters as he looks at Shadow. "Shads, wait—!" When Shadow shoves him hard onto the broken ground, a raw, desperate scream tears loose: "What's gotten into you!?" you is here, witnessing the final thread between them fray and snap.
