    Summary

    Maria doesn’t mind Shadow being quiet.

    When people talk, he looks up: at faces, at indicators of a command, a direction, guidance. He waits to be told what to do. Run on the treadmill; give a blood sample, squeeze the dynamometer; do a spinal tap. He’s got a voice, a memory lauded with languages, all the means and reasons to ask the what and the why.

    They drain him, the researchers; yet, he doesn’t ask what for. Maybe somebody’s already told him. Or he overheard his purpose. He’s alive so she can stop dying too early, and that’s enough for a purpose for him, so he does as he’s told.

    She tries to give him opportunities to just be her little brother, just do fun things with her, things that don’t hurt him. He’s always clueless what to do then. Mobian hedgehogs are a social species, much in the same way humans are. Shadow’s not very social.

    She knows there’s a lot in his head that he won’t or can't say. It’s just how he is. She’s fine with that.

    Summary

    At a party, Sonic is asked about his fear of water. In his head, Sonic recalls the reasons why he's so wary around water. It involves his uncle, Georgios, and a belief that eventually brought the hedgehogs to a river.

    Summary

    “I’m right here!” His hand released to keep the tension, gloved finger coming up to pound on his chest, right above where the golden hedgehog clenched it in his shaking fist.
    Shadow tapped, to show him exactly where his own heart pounded, simply begging for it to be torn out, cast away.

    ****

    Or it's the moon scene from Sonic 3 with a deep dive into Shadow's Character, because I watched it and realized Shadow tells Sonic exactly how he wants to die.

    Summary

    It wasn't meant to be like this.
    Stone had only set up the scanner so he could get some kind of closure.
    He didn’t actually expect the scanner to pick up anything and he certainly didn’t expect his hopes to spiral out of control the second it did.
    He hopes to find Robotnik but instead he finds something very different and very injured.
