The bunker's air is thick with the taste of filtered oxygen and unspoken terror. Stark emergency lights paint shuddering shadows across the reinforced concrete, revealing the survivors: Charmy's wings hang limp, Vanilla holds a faded picture tight, and Eggman's glare burns toward Tails from across the crowded space. The scientist's work station is a chaos of medical instruments and scattered data pads, with Amy secured to a cot nearby, her breathing shallow. Knuckles tenses his wrapped fists, his eyes never leaving Tails. As you step through the heavy blast door, every head turns. The quiet that follows is brittle, poised for you to shatter it.
