#maria...

Would you like something? I’ve had it stashed for a while now, as comfort. It’s a record I found a while ago, I think it was in Maria’s room, not sure; I found it at an auction. Are you and Sonic an item? A couple? You should invite him over to a sleepover. Stay up late watching movies, eat a bunch of sweets after dinner, cuddle together before falling asleep… Y’know, be cheesy and cute. He would love that, and I bet you would too.

Also, are we friends? I’d like to be, an awful lot. You’re a kind person. Would you like to know my pen name or should I keep signing off as

-Bliz’s friend

A record? And... you think it's from Maria's room?

...

I'd like that, yes.

Also... yes, technically, we are. His courting worked. I don't want to hear any teasing, so all of you shut up. I think after Knuckles'... thing, I'll ask him if he wants to, or if he's even allowed to, considering I live with Robotnik's assistant. From what I've seen, Maddie and Stone are on decent terms, but I'm still unsure.

And as for us...

I guess we are friends. You've signed off enough for me to debate whether or not it was Bliz or Bliz's friend writing an ask using Bliz's account. I'm supposed to be more friendly, even in my angst, so I think it'd be nice to know your name.

redraw of my old drawing, oh dear LORD I love her..

Shadow finds themself looking up at the (perfectly intact) moon, arms crossed in contemplation. Strangely, no sign of the ARK in orbit. It brings an odd solemnness, as if a view into a world where they don't exist, where she...

...There's no purpose in thinking about that any longer. Clearly, this isn't Earth. Not as they know it.

That aside... Shadow catches their eye on someone suddenly appearing in their general vicinity. A robot or machine of some kind, gaze set alike on the moon. Too dull and archaic-looking to be the creation of anyone they're familiar with, though Shadow still treats the situation with caution.
