Sounds 'bout right. [Sonic chuckled, knowing that was true. His answer was fair enough. Logical. Rather befitting for the black hedgehog. But from it, he could see that Shadow could... relax. Some things didn't have to be so rushed all the time.]

I think what's different is that you have more patience with me now. But hey, not that I mind, it's kinda nice, I guess, when I think about it.

[They had opposed each other for so long and seemed to be polar opposites. Maybe, just maybe they could stand to have some moderation and not be so extreme. Maybe Shadow could regain or relearn innocence anew and Sonic could mature and learn to be optimistic yet realistic. He thought maybe he didn't mind the latter part that applied to him, but how ready was he for that, he wasn't entirely positive.]
