It's Rouge's birthday, and her older brother, Rui decides to surprise her by going to her place, but immediately gets angry when he finds out that she's friends with Shadow. This makes him angry due to the fact that he almost lost Rouge and lost his...
Rouge was silent... Right now, she was standing in front of a order bat she thought that she would never see again.
Her older brother... Rui...
Rouge: Rui...?
Shadow: Rui? Rouge, you know this guy?
But instead of answering Shadow's question, the bat laughed happily and embraced her brother in a big hug.

Rouge: Rui!
Rui: Rouge! Look at you! You grew up so much!
Rouge: [Laughs] So did you! I never thought I'd see you again! Usually, you write to me whenever it's my birthday or a special occasion!
Rui: This time, I wanted to be different! I wanted to come see you in person!
Rouge: This is amazing! This is the best birthday gift I could ask for! Thank you!
Rui: Haha! I know! I'm the best!
Shadow: [Clears his throat, getting Rouge and Rui's attention] Rui, right? I am Shadow the Hedgehog: Roommate of your sister. A pleasure to meet you. [Bows]
Rui: [His smile quickly turned into a hardened glare] Hello.
Shadow: [Notices the glare] What's with the glare? Did I do something wrong?
Rui: Rouge, who is this? [Points at Shadow]
Rouge: Oh! This is Shadow! Like he said, he's my roommate!
Rui: You didn't tell me you were roommates with... that!
Shadow: What exactly do you mean?
Rui: Isn't it obvious? You're a hedgehog!
Shadow: And what's wrong with that?
Rui: Your kind ruined MY life! I can't believe my sister would wanna hang out with you after what your kind did!
Rouge: Rui!
Shadow: Ruined... your life?
Rui: Rouge, are you sure you don't want a different roommate?
Rouge: [Standing her ground] I'm sure.
Rui: What?!
Rouge: Listen Rui, I know what those hedgehogs did in the past was horrible, but Shadow is nothing like them! He's sweet, caring, and kind! Nothing like those creeps from our past!
Rui: You don't know that! How long have you known this guy?
Rouge: Four years!
Rui: I've known my so-called "friends" way longer than that, yet they still betrayed me!
Rouge: Shadow will not betray me!
Shadow: She's right! I won't!
Rui: NO!!!! That's not true! I know that is not true! Rouge, clear your head! Don't let him trick you! Don't you remember what his kind did to us?! Don't you remember what they almost did to YOU?!?!
Rouge: That's enough, Rui! I'm sick of you antagonizing Shadow! I know hedgehogs have hurt us in the past, but that doesn't mean all hedgehogs are like that! And if you can't accept that, than maybe you shouldn't be here!

Rui: [Shocked] W-What...?!
Rouge: Get out...
Rui: Rouge... Sis--
Rouge: GO!!!!
Stunned by Rouge's aggressiveness and determination to protect Shadow from his assumptions, Rui left, slamming the door behind him.
