The next few days were a blur of paperwork, sorry faces, and crying into his pillow. His gang, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, Blaze, and Silver visited regularly. Sometimes Tails and Knuckles would play video games with him. Sometimes Rouge, Blaze and Silver would play Uno with him, or other board games where Silver would try not to crash out on. Sometimes Cream would just talk to Sonic and draw on the floor of what was now Sonic's apartment. Sometimes there was a thick silence which no one dared to break. Team Chaotix visited sometimes. Vector would try to make something in Sonic's kitchen,(and fail miserably), Espio would pretty much get Sonic to do anything but mope around, and Charmy would fly around talking about his favorite memories with Amy and ALWAYS break something. Vector and Espio would scold him for it, but Sonic never minded. He liked having people that didn't give him pitying faces all the time. To him, pity was sadness disguised as guiltiness. It felt like unnecessary attention disguised as the fact that I don't wanna be here. Tangle, Whisper, and Jewel visited often. They always had new stories to tell him to fill the thick silence that seemed to live in his apartment now. They'd always bring food that tasted like a mix of a professional chef and someone who was a train wreck in the kitchen, but Sonic still ate the food anyways. He felt jealous sometimes, to see that Tangle and Whisper still had each other and he just lost his fiance, but then he'd feel guilty to think that because they didn't deserve his criticism. Surge and Kit came once, with food that could feel like they were giving it to a giant and not someone who was grieving. Surge and Kit also brought a comic book that Sonic liked and chocolate that him and Amy agreed was peak. His fridge had never been so full. Surge and Kit stayed a bit longer, but it was a little awkward. Regardless, Sonic still liked their company.
Shadow came once. Sonic remembered it clearly. Shadow was wearing a gray t-shirt and jeans and looking a bit awkward. He was holding a plastic bag with a casserole in it, and looked like he was nervous as hell. When Sonic opened the door, Shadow shoved the casserole in Sonic's hands with ridiculous strength. Sonic stood there awkwardly for a few seconds, then quietly asked, "Why would you do this?" Shadow's face turned bright red. He mumbled something that sounded like,"just take it" and walked off. But before Shadow reached the stairs, he turned around and yelled, "NO ONE PUT ME UP TO THIS!!!" and ran off. "Impressive" Sonic thought before going inside his apartment. First: Next: Soon Guess the scene from the chapter the tne is.
