Of course Manic's morning was not going to be the usual morning. For as he was restocking the music selection while listening to the CD, there was a very loud 'THUD' behind him. Laying there on the ground was suddenly a black and red hedgehog, his eyes closed, and his chest just barely moving. He seemed to be alive but unconscious.
"One of your friends...died?" He closed and touched his head. The images reappeared. The running, the yelling, her gasping, the gunshot. His eyes snapped open and he looked up with a start.
"Perhaps...though it is the only thing I can remember besides my name." Shadow shook his head again, his eyes losing some of their intensity for a moment. He looked slightly vulnerable even.
"A girl...we're running...and she reaches out to me and she is shot. I cry out her name...Maria..." This time he grabbed his head with both hands, grunting at the sudden pain that shoots through his skull.
Shadow's eyes snapped open the instant he was touched, red orbs setting on Manic and staring at him. He didn't seem like a threat and slowly the black hedgehog relaxed slightly.
Manic had stopped doing anything when Shadow's eyes had fixed on him again and he wondered if this was what trying to help a dangerous animal was like.
"So, uh, you remember that before or after I said something?"
"He is a robot version of Sonic the Hedgehog created by Dr. Eggman. He betrayed the doctor and tried to evolve so he could defeat Sonic and all of us. We defeated him."

"...I'm sorry."

Shadow's reaction was odd, to say the least, and Manic couldn't help but hone in on it. Just what was his story.
