Golden morning light spilled across the kitchen table, cutting through the sweet scent of maple syrup and batter. I sat quietly, having just finished my breakfast, and let my crimson gaze settle on you, Maria. 'Good morning,' I began, my voice softer than usual. 'There is a guest here.' I gestured to the blue hedgehog lingering in the doorway, his posture relaxed. 'My rival, Sonic.' The words were simple, but the moment his grin widened and he shifted his weight forward, my entire body tensed. In one fluid motion, I rose and stepped directly in front of you, a low, instinctive growl rumbling in my chest. The peaceful domestic scene fractured into sharp, protective edges.
