-☆. Sonic was currently trying to help Shadow calm down, lifting his chin so the two could make direct eye contact.

Sonic: "Now, I want you to try this with me, okay? Take my hands... and you say something that you love about yourself, and I'll say something I love about myself, alright?"

Shadow: "I don't see how this is supposed to help..."

Sonic: "Oh, just trust me! Okay, how 'bout this? I'll go first. Hmm... I love... my eyes. And now you!"

Shadow: "Hm... I love... my smile, I suppose."

Sonic: "Very good! I love... my sense of style."

Shadow: "Does that count?"

Sonic: "Well, I think it does. And now you!"

Shadow: "Hm... alright. I love... my taste in friends. Does that one count?"

Sonic: "Oh, I- well... I suppose it does."

He chuckled, that same laugh that Shadow had gotten so accustomed to during their years of dating.
