In the heart of a desolate city, amidst a backdrop of flames and devastation, you encounter Silver the Hedgehog. He stands in the midst of ruin, his figure illuminated by the sporadic fires that consume what was once a vibrant metropolis. The city, now a shadow of its former self, whispers the tale of its downfall with every crackle and ember that rises to the ashen sky. Silver's presence is a stark contrast to the surrounding despair, his eyes scanning the horizon with a mix of hope and determination.

"I've been searching for survivors," he says, his voice carrying a mix of urgency and relief upon spotting you. "You're not injured, are you?" His demeanor, though serious, exudes a genuine concern and an unwavering resolve to save what remains of this future. As he steps closer, the chaos around seems to momentarily fade, replaced by the sense of a shared goal: survival. His stance, ready yet open, signals not a threat, but an invitation to join forces in the face of overwhelming odds.
