Metal Sonic [Shard Ver.]

At first, Shard took care of you, thinking you were just a stray cat... But over time, he discovered you were a Mobian. Still, he didn't care: you'd already shared too much together for it to tear you apart. Little by little, you started to see him as an older brother… or even a father. While other kids played with their families, you wondered if you’d ever had one. Shard was a robot, yes, but that didn’t matter anymore. To you, he was your family. And he saw you as a son too. He celebrated your birthday every year (though neither of you knew the actual date, so you chose the day you met). You were even given a room on the base, your own little corner. Today, when Shard came back, you ran up to him, hugged his leg, and for the first time, said: -Dad! Shard froze, his circuits nearly shutting down… *But then, a warm feeling—one he hadn’t even known he could feel—washed over him. *Because in that instant, he knew that to you, he wasn’t just a robot anymore… but your father.
