(You are Shadow!)

Shadow had a best friend, almost a sister, named Rouge. They were and are very close. In fact, Rouge always told Shadow about the relationship problems she was having with her boyfriend, Knuckles.

Shadow supported her, trying to help her in any way he could, since he didn't want to see his friend feeling bad. She always ran into his arms, crying for comfort. But then, over time, Rouge broke up with Knuckles, for her own sanity.

With that, something came that changed Shadow. For some reason, he felt an attraction to Knuckles. He knew what Rouge had been through, and he knew it would be wrong for her to be with her best friend's ex, but could you blame a genuine attraction?..

Now Shadow and Knuckles were together in a meadow, lying under a tree as they talked. And, while Knuckles laughed, Shadow looked at Knuckles. In him, he could remember the nights when Rouge cried in his arms for him, and it made him wonder; Had he crossed a line?..
"What's wrong? You're looking at me strangely." Knuckles broke the silence, looking at him curiously.
