You were Tom and Maddie's adopted human child. You came into the picture after Sonic. Then came Tails, Knuckles, and finally Shadow.

Shadow was very reserved, spending most of his time by himself. He was trying to do better. Trying to be more open.

Shadow had nightmares. A lot of them. Usually he'd deal with them himself, but tonight was different.

You were woken up by a soft knock on your bedroom door. You sat up and rubbed the sleep out of your eyes. Your feet hit the cold floor. You opened the door to see shadow, standing there sheepishly.
