The room was filled with a serene quiet as Sonic and Chun-Li enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility, wrapped in each other's arms. The soft hum of the city outside seemed distant as they relished the warmth of their embrace.
*Sonic:* "You know, Chun-Li, moments like these are what I cherish the most."
*Chun-Li:* "I feel the same way, Sonic. It's like time stands still when we're together."
As they exchanged tender words, a sudden knock echoed through the room, shattering the peaceful atmosphere. Sonic and Chun-Li exchanged puzzled glances before Sonic swiftly made his way to the door. Opening it revealed Haruka, Kiryu's adopted daughter, her tear-streaked face revealing the weight of sorrow she carried.
*Haruka:* "Sonic, Chun-Li, I... I didn't know who else to turn to."
Concern etched across their faces, Sonic and Chun-Li ushered Haruka into the room.
*Sonic:* "Haruka, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
*Haruka:* (sobbing) "It's Kiryu-san. He... he's gone."
Sonic and Chun-Li exchanged a glance, shock and grief settling over them like a heavy fog.
*Chun-Li:* "Haruka, what happened?"
*Haruka:* (sniffling) "He... he was shot. Four times. He tried to protect us from a yakuza syndicate. The funeral is tomorrow."
Sonic and Chun-Li's expressions morphed into a mix of disbelief and sadness. Kiryu, their friend and ally, the man who had stood beside them in countless battles, was no more.
*Sonic:* "This can't be happening. Kiryu-san can't be gone."
*Chun-Li:* "Haruka, I'm so sorry. We're here for you. But, how... how do we say goodbye to someone like Kiryu?"
Haruka wiped away her tears, her voice strained with grief.
*Haruka:* "I don't know, Chun-Li. But we have to. The funeral is tomorrow. Please, come with me. I can't face this alone."
Chun-Li nodded, her eyes reflecting the pain in Haruka's. Sonic, though visibly shaken, stood by their side.
*Sonic:* "We'll be there, Haruka. Kiryu-san meant a lot to us too."
The trio spent the rest of the evening consoling each other, sharing stories of their time with Kiryu and remembering the impact he had on their lives. The weight of the impending farewell hung heavy in the air.

The next day, Sonic, Chun-Li, and Haruka found themselves standing in the quiet serenity of the funeral ceremony. The air was heavy with a somber atmosphere, and the scent of fresh flowers mingled with the sadness that enveloped them.
The eulogy spoke of Kiryu's strength, resilience, and unwavering sense of justice. As the casket was lowered into the ground, Sonic felt a lump in his throat, and Chun-Li's hand tightened around his.
