[Sonic nodded once. This was the first time he had heard this straight from Shadow, straight from the source. Sure there had been information sent his way and to his friends when they had been on ARK earlier, but nothing like this. No intimate details like this.
It wasn't often that he heard that name from the black hedgehog. Sonic always thought it was... off limits to use for himself. He always went with third person pronouns instead. It seemed easiest, and perhaps less so much as an invasion of privacy or encroaching on memories that he had no part of at all.
But the way he talked about her, Sonic could tell that he cared for her. And for the Professor. His life before had been so idyllic in its own way, their definition of it. Why it had to end in the manner it did was unfair.
He would have thanked Shadow for the explanation, but it seemed to be inappropriate. It was obvious that Shadow missed them and that past, what could have been and what could have continued to be.]
