No More Pain

Sonic led Shadow to his bathroom.

Shadow viewed Sonic's rather large bathroom. It had a large tub, full shower, a giant mirror, a clean toilet, and a expensive scale. Shadow looked at it and began to feel nervous.

Sonic closed the door and watched Shadow getting nervous. "Okay Shadow, like I said, during these checkins I will weigh you, document your physical appearance, and overall mental health. Let's start with the physical part."

"And how would you document that?" Shadow asked.

"I'm gonna take pictures to track your progress, so..I know this is gonna sound weird but I'm ask you to take your shirt off." Sonic asked.

Shadow blushed hard. "B-But I..."

"I know it's weird and awkward but please trust me. I promise I won't judge you." Sonic replied.

Shadow's blushed grew deeper as he gripped the ends of his shirt.

"Tell you what, I'll turn around  so you don't feel like your stripping infront of me. Would that make you feel a little better?" Sonic asked.

Shadow nodded as he began to shake.

Sonic nodded back and turned away from Shadow.

Shadow shakily began to remove his shirt to reveal his caves in stomach and visible rib cage. He looked into the large mirror and his emotions were beginning to overflow.

"Y-You can around now." Shadow quietly spoke.

Sonic turned his body toward the broken hedgehog and gazed at Shadow's skeleton like body. His face was unreadable.

Shadow was starting to get even more uncomfortable with Sonic's look. "Sonic?"

Sonic snapped out of his daze. "S-Sorry Shadow." He grabbed his phone and turned on his camera setting. "Just keep your arms at your sides as I take the picture." Sonic said.

"Okay." Shadow did as he was instructed.

Sonic's phone flashed as he took the picture. After he did he looked at his phone to check the quality of it. "Alright, next we weigh you. Step on the scale please." Sonic said as he pulled up the notes app on his phone.

Shadow nodded and stepped onto the scale. The scale calculated Shadow's weigh and the number was visible on the small screen.

35.76 pounds

Shadow looked at the number in shock.

Sonic noticed his expression as he wrote the number down in his phone. "You okay Shadow?"

"I-I didn't know it was gonna be that bad."

Sonic put his phone away and gently placed a hand on Shadow's shoulder. "Don't worry about this now Shadow. This is only the beginning, it can only get better from here."

Shadow stepped off the scale and gripped his shirt in his hand. Still not convinced.

"Look at the bright side Shadow, your first check in is over. Now I'm gonna make us some breakfast. You wanna help?" Sonic asked.

"Sure." Shadow said still kinda of upset.
