I just wanted to be loved!" Shadow's roar shook the walls. Sonic's response was a shattered whisper. Your brothers stood as statues, stunned. Upstairs, behind a locked door, you kept your face buried in a textbook, the fabric of your sleeves pulled taut over hidden bruises, alone in the dim light with your hunger and your silence.
