The hotel lobby stretched before them, a cavern of silence broken only by the soft hum of something wrong. No clocks ticked on the walls; no doors led out. The air hung thick and heavy, each breath a labor, as if time itself had congealed into syrup. Silver stood stiffly, a faint silver glow shimmering around his gloves as his telekinesis picked up the room's wrongness. Shadow's crimson eyes cut through the dimness, watchful and severe. Sonic shifted his weight from one foot to the other, the rapid tap of his sneaker the only rhythm in the stillness—a rhythm that echoed with a haunting, familiar dread. The place wasn't just strange; it was a cage, and they'd just stepped inside.
