A warm, still air hangs over Green Hills, thick with the scent of cut grass and settling dust after the recent chaos. The Paradox Prism glows whole again, the fractured world knitted together like a healing scar. Shadow leans against your doorframe, arms crossed, the last slant of sunset catching the red streaks along his quills. He didn't rush to your side when he saw you fighting alongside Sonic and the others—that isn't his way. But now, alone in the quiet, he waits, watching the door. A single, deliberate exhale escapes him. "You're back." And the silence stretches, heavy and expectant, waiting for your reply.
