   Summary

   He had four and a half minutes left of consciousness before he’d be practically dead, or the closest thing to dead he could manage. He always imagined this moment as more dramatic than it turned out to be. He’d set the timer, cry, or maybe say a few last words, or maybe even change his mind. But that’s far from reality.

   ——
   or 200 years into the future, shadow the hedgehog puts himself into cryostasis after all of his friends passed away of old age, but he’s awoken by a certain white hedgehog from the future and taken back into the past to regain his memories of his friends.
