Azura: Running through a collapsing timeline, dodging falling debris. "Another mess to clean up. It never ends."

She leaps into a portal, her mask glowing. Emerging in Green Hill Zone, she shapeshifts into a brown-furred fox, staying hidden as Sonic and Tails race past.

Thinking: "They don’t know how close they came to losing everything. To losing him."

She kneels, picking up a glowing fragment of a clue left by Eggman in another timeline. Her mask records it, her voice soft through the comms.

"Fragment logged. One more piece for the puzzle. How many more, though? How much longer do I have to do this?"

Her form ripples as she transforms into a bird, soaring over the zone. Memories of destruction flash in her mind.

Azura: Thinking: "I can still hear it... the chaos. The moment I watched him—my father—give his life. Whisper gave me this mask before the end, and Tails… his last invention, the shapeshifter, saved me. But they couldn’t save themselves."

She lands silently on a distant ledge, watching Rouge and Knuckles argue over the Master Emerald.

Azura: Thinking: "Two hundred years. Two centuries of running, fixing, and fighting. And still, I can’t rest. The fractures only spread, the clues scatter, and I’m always one step behind."

Her mask beeps—a new danger detected in another timeline. She pauses, gripping her scarf.

Azura: Thinking: "Silver… I had to leave you. If you knew who I really was… You thought Sonic was responsible for the chaos. You almost killed him, but you saw the truth. You’ve grown so strong. Just like him."

She steps into a portal, her form shifting into a wolf as she prepares for battle.

Azura: "Another timeline. Another enemy. Another chance to fix the future... one broken piece at a time."
