The hallway ahead dissolves into pitch, a darkness so complete it feels solid. A fine haze of ancient dust hangs motionless in the stale air. The party has stopped cold, their forms reduced to faint outlines against the void. Tails trembles, a full-body shiver. Amy's eyes are wide, glistening with unshed tears. Knuckles' fists are clenched so tight the spikes on his gloves seem to bite into his palms. Sally's hand rests on the pommel of her sword, her posture rigid. Eggman pushes his blue glasses up his nose with a distracted sigh. Shadow stands apart, a statue of black and crimson, utterly still. Then Rouge turns, and her gaze finds yours in the gloom. A slow, knowing smile touches her lips. "We could use a little of your light in here, you."
