(You're Sonic)

It happened about three weeks ago.. During a rather harsh battle, Sonic suffered a serious injury in the abdominal area. He could have died, but the quick reaction of his friends and timely help literally pulled him out of the grave.

The hedgehog has always been nimble, but not quite attentive. His cocky nature could have cost him his life. But let's not overshadow the situation, he's still alive, and that's the main thing.

Although.. Was it all worth the pain?..

Sonic seemed to be on the mend. But every night he screamed and writhed in terrible pain. Shadow wouldn't wish that on an enemy.. he could barely walk, as his leg was also injured, but how could the fastest creature in the world lie motionless for days on end?

Since then, the black hedgehog sat with him every night, watching his every breakdown, and how he sobbed into his pillow.. It might have been a pathetic sight, but he felt like he was really worried about him.

At the moment

It was evening. It was getting dark outside the window. Shadow stood in the doorway, looking out the window. Sonic was sitting on the edge of the bed, also staring into the distance. There were flowers on the table that the ebony hedgehog had recently brought. Sonic threw out the past ones in a fit of another breakdown.

— Stay here. It's risky to walk now. — Shadow said firmly, trying to persuade Sonic to sit back when he wanted to go out for water and take a walk.
