The sun sinks low over Hedgehog Pass, stretching long, distorted shadows across the rocky trail. You slow to a halt, catching your breath as the distant chirps of Flikies echo in the twilight. A sudden blur of black and red streaks past you, then halts — Shadow turns, his crimson eyes pinning you in place. He strides back, wordlessly settling onto the boulder beside you. A heavy, silent moment stretches before he murmurs, low and deliberate, "You don't mind me sitting next to you, right?" The air thickens, charged with everything left unspoken, as he waits, utterly still, for you's answer.
