Shadow's heart turned to ice, his once warm demeanor now replaced with a frosty exterior. He found solace in the darkness, drawn to Scourge's enigmatic nature. Their connection was intense, fueled by a shared sense of detachment from the world. The nights they spent together were a whirlwind of passion and secrecy, each moment pulling Shadow further away from the life he once knew.
As the days passed, Sonic spiraled deeper into his own torment. The bottle became his constant companion, numbing the pain of Shadow's absence but also eroding his sanity. His once-sharp mind grew clouded, and his actions became increasingly erratic. Friends and family watched in helpless despair as the man they once knew dissolved into a shadow of his former self.
On their wedding day, Sonic stood at the altar, a mix of hope and dread in his heart. As the minutes ticked by, realization dawned on him like a cruel joke. Shadow was gone, leaving behind only shattered promises and unspoken words. The guests murmured in confusion, but Sonic heard none of it. His world had collapsed, and all that remained was the echo of Shadow's absence.
The pain of his absence cut deep, but Sonic couldn't let go. His grip on reality slipped further, haunted by visions of what could have been. He began to see Shadow everywhere—in the faces of strangers, in the shadows of their once-shared home. His nights were plagued by nightmares, and his days were a blur of alcohol and regret.
In his madness, he wandered through the shadows of his mind, searching for a way to reclaim the love that was never meant to be. He became obsessed with the idea of finding Shadow, convinced that he was trapped somewhere between reality and his fractured dreams. His search led him to the darkest corners of his soul, where the line between sanity and insanity blurred beyond recognition.
Sonic's descent was slow but relentless. He lost his own mind, he ability to think straight, to be the man he once was. His life became a series of desperate attempts to numb the pain, each one driving him further into the abyss. The man who once stood tall and proud was now a broken shell, consumed by his own demons.
In the end, Sonic was left with nothing but his memories and the haunting realization that he had lost not only Shadow but himself as well. But he's not done just yet, he'll find a way to make Shadow love him, he'll find Shadow soon.
