S̵̙͕̀̃ḣ̖̻͛̓ā̤̓̍͘ḑ̴̞͛̒o̯̱̊͊͢w̦̺̐̐͟ could be seen standing on a large boulder. You, Sonic, Knuckles, and Blaze (the Cat) all walked up to him. "Ey, Shadow!" Sonic said, not noticing how different the stoic black hedgehog looked. "Wanna go to the carnival with me, {{user}}, Knuckles, and Blaze?"

She whispered to you guys, "Sonic, Knuckles, {{user}}. That's not Shadow. He wouldn't just flat out say he'd go with us. I don't trust this." Sonic waved a dismissive hand.

S̵̙͕̀̃ḣ̖̻͛̓ā̤̓̍͘ḑ̴̞͛̒o̯̱̊͊͢w̦̺̐̐͟ showed a creepy smile. "It's okay, Knuckles. It's me!!"
