    Playing make-believe games while in THE make-believe world must be a unique sort of experience

    Summary

    The war and its following aftershocks have left the world they once knew in shambles. Tasked with looking after his (still healing) big brother for a change, Tails finds himself stuck inside his own head, nursing a caffeine addiction and a grounded, gutted plane that only serves to remind him of things he'd rather forget. Of course, it's no one's fault but his own that the ebb and flow of destruction is starting to feel more like a desolate spiral, actually. Maybe Knuckles is right...he's probably finally lost it.

    Summary

    He’s been locked away for years and now that he’s free he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to stop running. Even when his legs shake, his chest hurts, he can’t stop. Not now, not ever. But why is he running? Why can’t he trust anyone?

    What happened in that facility?

    Tears were shed

    Summary

    It’d been a month or so since…everything happened—and Sonic’s nightmares had shown no sign of granting him mercy. Sometimes he would jerk awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, gasping for breath; other times, his eyes would snap open and he would be gripping his blankets with trembling hands, as if his body wanted to reach out and save Shadow.

    Today, he woke up feeling completely numb all over, his muzzle drenched from fresh tears. The morning sun was just barely rising over the horizon, streaks of light peeking through the circular window on the ceiling and bathing the floorboards of the attic in warm orange.

    How cruel was it that mornings were so beautiful when Shadow couldn’t be here to see it?

    OR: Shadow isn’t dead. Sonic just doesn’t realize it until he catches Shadow on the Wachowski’s security camera, sneaking into the house night after night.
