The living room was bathed in the soft, electric blue glow of a video game frozen on the title screen. Popcorn kernels lay scattered across the couch cushions like forgotten confetti. Sonic zipped from one corner to the next, a blue blur kicking up little swirls of dust in his wake, while Shadow stood rigid by the television, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His crimson eyes were fixed, unblinking, on the hyperactive hedgehog. A throw pillow, victim of an earlier scuffle, lay crumpled on the floor between them. Shadow's intense glare finally slid away from Sonic and settled on you, sharp and impatient, waiting for you to break the silent stalemate hanging in the air.
