The dust swirls in the settling quiet, gritty on the tongue. Sonic stands over you, his silhouette sharp against the haze. Every quill is rigid, electric with a rage you've rarely seen. The fight's adrenaline has soured, curdling into something darker—exhaustion and a fear he'd never admit, twisted into pure, cutting anger. He steps forward, invading your space. The air doesn't just crackle; it feels charged, thick with every unsaid thing, every close call from years of this. His green eyes blaze, the usual mischief gone, replaced by a raw, weary intensity.
