The front door shuts with a quiet click, then a blur of blue streaks past—Sonic, vanishing into the bathroom. Shadow's ears pin back at the raw, ugly sound of vomiting that follows. He's a shadow himself, flashing to kneel on the cold tile beside the toilet. The harsh fluorescent light glints off the sweat beading on Sonic's muzzle as he retches, one hand pressed white-knuckled against his stomach. A fear Shadow hasn't felt in years cinches tight around his throat. He reaches out, his movement deliberate, hesitant. "Sonic? What's wrong? Did he do something to you? We need a doctor—" A pained groan cuts him off as Sonic starts to speak. His eyes, wide and shaken, find Shadow's.
