[the_blueblur]

Shadow's...

...

His skin.

[the_blueblur]

Shadow's... My friend got...

[sounds of punching a wall] That idiot!

[the_blueblur]

[takes a few moments before he attempts to smile while talking... but he's still quiet and his voice is hoarse] Thanks, buddy.

[nummeh_souls]

Oi, Sonic! Dammit! What the hell is-

Get the hell out of there, you idiot!

Move your ass now, explanations come later!

[Voice]

[the_blueblur]

I'm out of there already! [coughing and heavy panting]

[Voice]

[nummeh_souls]

Che! Sorry about, I just-

[He gives an exasperated sigh] Anyway, talk to me. You all right? What happened over there?

[voice]

[the_blueblur]

[voice is shakey- He's not crying, he's just shaken up]

It was his skin. Shadow's. Hanging outside my door. It fell on the ground. I can't stop thinking about it.

[Voice] [Private to Sonic; Unhackable]

[invisible_ai]

That reaction...

Get away from your current location as quickly as possible if it disturbs you this much.

[She transmits the sound of a gun being picked up.] Calm yourself, and tell me where you are.

If you do not, then I will find you myself.

[Voice] [Private to Ai, may be hackable due to panic]

[the_blueblur]

[heavy panting, but no longer running feet... he sounds like he's leaning against something]

Ai... Hha..a.a... Shadow was... Oh gosh, the memory's not going away... [leans his head back as he speaks into the communicator] I'm out of Latimir... I'm out, I'm out. I'm not going back.

[Voice] [Private to Sonic; Unhackable]

[invisible_ai]

It is never so simple... [A pause] If you are able to, try to focus on something else. It may be of some help to you. If not, then I am always here.

It may be for the best. Shall I escort you to Horton, Sonic?

[Voice] [Private to Ai, may be hackable due to panic]

[the_blueblur]

I'm trying, I'm trying. I think about running, my friends, but then I think about Shadow and that's all I s-- [his breathing sounds muffled as he suddenly puts a hand over his mouth for a few moments]

... okay..
