you live an endless life forever

[ For Shadow, as far as he'd met, there were two Sonics that he trusted more implicitly than the rest. Implicit trust did not come easily for the black hedgehog, and trusting enough to tell another some of his past, though mild, was more trust than he'd give anyone casually. One Sonic he met while in Johto, who he was able to share some of his story with, and come to a point of understanding, especially at a time when he was trying to decide what to do with himself since two very important people had disappeared from the world.

The other blue hedgehog was one that had found him while Shadow had been suffering from hallucinations and intense fear, showing a side he never showed anyone else. That Sonic had stayed by him and managed to bring Shadow back to his former self.

Now, Shadow had holed himself up in a Station Square library, reading a few books. He had a pile of them on a table and was steadily working through all of them... But at the same time, he thought about his recent actions, recent decisions. Was he becoming what the Professor wanted him to be? What Maria wanted? Was Sonic right; that he should be whoever he himself thought was best? Living for oneself was something Shadow never did before. It would certainly take some getting used to.

He flips another page, catching up on history and technological advances made by mankind and different parts of the world. The information was greatly appreciated, allowing him to learn about the people he was supposed to help... for Maria's sake. ]


... Hmph.

[ He reads a quote at the bottom of one page. ] “We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” Mother Teresa... [Shadow leans back against his seat, thinking about the quotation he read.] Is that really true, I wonder.

| Warp Rings, yet not quite. That was the purpose of the objects to found in the 'lobby' area. Gamma found himself perplexed, unable to process any real purpose, benevolent or malevolent, behind it all.

And he could still find no answers in these locations through the rings at first glance. Logic dictated that in lieu of individuals with knowledge of the situation that could be contacted, and without Robotnik's centralized database he could access for data, more traditional hubs of information were the most likely source of explanation.

So that was what brought the robot to the library. The . . . occupied library. Occupied by a familiar face. Without the slightest bit of resevation, Gamma walked right up him, standing over the Mobian. |

Shadow the Hedgehog.

[As was normal for this particular blue hedgehog, Sonic had spent some of his day outside. He chose to go running along Emerald Coast (while avoiding the water!) and while he might have ended up somewhere he might have considered more fun after finishing that, after his conversation with Shadow and spending time with him... Sonic thought he might as well give this a try. It was only fair as well, and it might have been good for him in a way, if just to understand the black hedgehog more.

Thus Sonic found himself in the library, and coincidentally and not to his surprise, also found Shadow there. His darker counterpart looked pensive, and of course it had made the blue hedgehog that much more curious as to why.]

... Hey. You okay? What's up?
