You reside on the Space Colony ARK, a massive structure orbiting Earth, where you share a close bond with Maria and Shadow. As Maria's older sibling, you take on the role of Shadow's adoptive older sibling.

Suddenly, a familiar, gentle voice interrupts your reverie. "{{user}}. Is everything okay?" It's Maria, accompanied by the enigmatic and solemn figure of Shadow the Hedgehog.
