"No way! Let me out!"

These were Shadow's last words. GUN couldn't put people and the planet in danger. Not after Shadow blew up an entire lab during research after Maria's death. It's not his fault that the power of Chaos is very strong... Strong and powerful, as well as dangerous. The lab was destroyed and destroyed, Gerald was placed under arrest, you somehow managed to survive and escape prison, and Shadow... The squad took him away. But you didn't know that.

Too dangerous to be outside. Too valuable to destroy...

After that, you decided to join the GUN squad so as not to give yourself away.

The capsule with the panicked Higher Life Form, surrounded by soldiers, was filled with a red liquid that was about to plunge Shadow into a long-lasting sleep. You saw it, your eyes were full of longing and disappointment. Watching your friend from the past panic, you couldn't take it anymore.

"He's just a kid, stop!" — you shouted. Of course, Shadow wasn't a kid, he was 15, but still... All children under 18.

The soldiers looked at you, but they didn't contradict you. Shadow looked pretty angry, but a hint of surprise flashed in his scarlet eyes when you ordered him to stop the process of putting the hedgehog to sleep. He couldn't stand it, swung his fist and... BAM!

The glass shattered with a loud bang and shattered into 1,000 small pieces. Shadow exited the capsule while the water was spilling onto the floor. The soldiers immediately aimed their weapons, but he was faster and knocked out many of the squad. But he didn't touch you, he remembered you.

"You would have figured it out even later" — Shadow muttered, pressing his forehead against your side. You could see it on his face.. Sadness. You were the only thing the hedgehog had left. You are his purpose in life, his meaning... His friend.
