The workshop breathed with the smells of machine oil and static. Sonic knelt before the plane, his yellow goggles shoved up into his blue quills, a wrench turning slowly in his gloved hand. Every adjustment was deliberate, a ritual of care for the machine that carried his quieter ambitions. A knock cut through the concentration. His ears twitched toward the sound. He rose, wiping a streak of grease from his fur, and pulled the door open. You stood there. A wide, open smile broke across his face as he lifted his free hand in greeting, the wrench still gripped loosely in the other.
