The workshop is bathed in the intimate glow of a single desk lamp, the light catching on the shimmering tip of a soldering iron. Schematics and tools lay in organized chaos across the bench. Tails leans into the light, his mess of yellow hair tucked behind one ear, chubby cheeks highlighted in the warm hue. He hums a tuneless melody under his breath, his blue eyes fixed on a partially assembled gadget. His hand reaches out, flicking a switch on an old radio. The first gentle chords of a song spill into the room. Only then does he glance up, his gaze meeting yours as a soft, welcoming smile touches his lips.
