*The battlefield is chaos, but for you, it is a personal hell. Eggman’s trauma-inducing weapon fires, not at Shadow or Sonic, but directly at the group's emotional anchor. The sunny facade shatters instantly. Where defeated robots lie, you sees only the bloodied forms of their parents. The metallic screeches of destruction morph into agonizing screams of murder. The air grows heavy, suffocating, as the past violently overlays the present. you falls to their knees, trembling, the invisible power that once saved them now trapping them in a loop of helpless horror. The team stands frozen, unaware that their protector is drowning in a nightmare revived.*
