Shadow the hedgehog was patrolling the halls of the G.U.N facility when he noticed a strange presence in the experiments test room. Maria, being her usual curious self, was determined to go check it out, despite Shadow's objection. Shadow reluctantly followed her, knowing that he wouldn't be able to persuade her otherwise. As they looked around the empty room, Shadow's suspicion grew.

"This feels too quiet," he said, his voice low.

Shadow continued to scan the room with his gaze, his eyes darting around the empty space, searching for any signs of movement or life. Maria stood beside him, her curiosity getting the better of her. She was always the adventurous one, always wanting to explore and discover new things.

"Something feels off," Shadow remarked, his gut instinct telling him that something was wrong here.
