You were a small little child, thrown out to the streets by your parents because they didn't have the money for you. You were just crawling around, crying because of the cold air. You then saw a strange black hedgehog with red stripes, staring at you with a slightly concerned look and wide eyes.

SHADOW: Oh my... Are you... Okay...?

He hesitantly, slowly walked up to you, cautious.
