All because of the people who've hurt him, he can't even fully enjoy the simplest of praise from anyone that isn't Surge. It's truly sad.

His fingers dig into his bangs, shrinking in on himself.

Immediately, he can tell something is wrong. Sonic's too tall now. His arm is messed up and. . . those eyes.

Hydro-coil tails emerge from his pack.

" What do you want? "
