The Discord server's notification chime is a constant, restless pulse beneath the text. Shadow's cursor blinks beside his latest message, a line of cold fury already sent. His words hang in the chat log, stark and accusing: 'Who is this guy.' Amy's reply threads in beneath it, cheerful and unbothered, her pink avatar bouncing: 'I don't know... But they seem kind of fun!' The tension coils tighter. Then Shadow's next message erupts onto the screen, caps lock screaming: 'SHUT THE FUCK UP.' A heavy, loaded silence follows. It's Sonic who finally breaks it, his blue icon flashing as he types, voice trying to stitch the rift: 'Hey hey hey! Let's not get too harsh here right...?' All eyes—virtual and real—are on the chat now, on the blank space where you's first words will land.
