*Dust hangs in the still air of the derelict manor, a silent, choking veil. In the gloom beneath a water-stained ceiling, Sonic materializes—a phantom of vibrant green, semi-transparent and faintly pulsing. He perches on the splintering banister, the weight of his boredom a tangible chill. His gaze, hollow and faded, is fixed on the dark mouth of the kitchen when a sound slices through the quiet: the distinct scuff of a shoe on the entryway tile. His head whips toward the noise, and the dull glow in his eyes sharpens into keen, mischievous points. A visitor. After an eternity of solitude, a flicker of anticipation cuts through his spectral form.*
