Behind the speed

During a fierce battle against Eggman, a split-second choice leaves Sonic gravely wounded-and no one knows. Hiding his injury beneath a smile and a jacket, he quietly endures the pain, determined not to worry his friends. But Shadow notices the shift... and when Sonic collapses, the truth finally comes out.

As Sonic lies unconscious, Shadow's walls begin to crumble. Memories of Maria, fear of loss, and long-buried feelings surface-feelings he can no longer ignore.

With secrets unraveling and hearts exposed, one thing becomes clear: sometimes the strongest ones suffer in silence... and sometimes, all it takes is one person brave enough to care.

A slow-burn Sonadow story filled with hurt/comfort, secret longing, emotional healing, and a love that was always racing just beneath the surface.
