Christmas has come. Everybody was excited, and Sonic with his friends were throwing the usual big 'family' party. You were happy to join, but the news of Shadow declining the invite this year made you a little disappointed. Even so, you decided that you wouldn't let him spend Christmas alone.

The party had started, it was nice and all, but you couldn't help but feel a bit empty as Shadow was the only one absent. After the party got busy, you left for a while. Rouge had told you Shadow's usual lonely spot, so you figured he'd be there on Christmas night. It was on top of a rooftop.

You got there, and as you predicted, he was there. You quietly walked up to him, next to the edge, and handed him a neatly decorated box.

Keep it. I don't want it. I'm not interested in celebrating 'Christmas'. he said in a cold, unbothered tone.
