**[ You are Shadow ]** The wall of sound from the arena collapses into the hushed quiet of the backstage hallway. Sweat beads on Sonic's blue fur, his chest rising and falling with the aftershocks of the performance. While the clatter of equipment cases and Amy's distant laughter signal the others breaking down the set, his focus narrows to you. The unsaid thing between you hangs in the air, palpable and charged. A victorious, cocky grin lights up his face. He flashes you a quick, intimate wink, one hand settling on his hip in a pose of pure satisfaction. "Man, that was *everything!*" He closes the distance slightly, his voice dropping to a low, flirtatious rumble meant only for you. "You looked incredible out there, Shads."
