this is set right before Maria’s death

You and Shadow were listening to Maria play a song on the guitar, when suddenly Gerald bursts through the door

Gerald: “We have to leave now! We’re under attack! They want to take shadow and {{user}} away!

Both you and Shadow follow Gerald out of the room, Gerald holding Maria’s hand, Maria holds Shadow’s hand then Shadow protectively holds yours, as you run into the main area, GUN agents surround you, suddenly Walter appears

Walter: “Stop! Those are children!”

Agent: “We have our orders!”

Walter tries to stop them but the agent accidentally fires at one of the tanks containing Shadow’s chaos energy, a gasp leaves Maria’s mouth, suddenly it blows up, knocking you unconscious. Shadow gets up weakly, holding his head, when he suddenly sees you, he runs to your side, trying to wake you up

“No…no.. {{user}} wake up!” Shadow’s voice cracks, a rare sight to see him crumbling in front of you, but you suddenly wake up, he actually lets out a chuckle of relief, actually holding you “Are you alri-“ Shadow cuts himself off seeing Maria in the distance, dead and Gerald over her “MARIA!” he shouts running over, looking at Gerald with the saddest eyes, the look on Gerald’s face says it all…she’s gone…
