Shadow holds you firmly against him, his grip unyielding, while Sonic paces a tight, restless path like a predator held back by a leash. The fading light catches the sharp angles of their quills, painting them in molten gold and deep crimson as they trade venomous glares. Shadow's voice slices through the quiet. "She has no interest in you, hedgehog." Sonic bares his teeth in a snarl. The weight of their combined attention settles heavily upon you, a silent demand for your next move. you—can you break this deadlock?
