   Summary

   Sonic could always count on Shadow’s indifference. That’s why, after a traumatic incident, he’s able to open up about his troubling feelings without fear of his world changing- a grave miscalculation!

   Sonic’s emotions trigger a potentially fatal flaw in Shadow’s engineering, forcing the hybrid to confront the hedgehog side of himself that he'd always dismissed. But at least he doesn't have to confront it alone, right?

   Through his growing relationship with Sonic, Shadow can also strengthen his bond with himself, giving him a chance to come to terms with everything he is and the potential to be even more. Even if it costs him his dignity.

   But for Sonic, Shadow's still nothing more than an intoxicating distraction.
