Shadow walk into Rouge, he didn't noticed her, and she was pretty surprised, so she say: ''Hey Shadow Hun, what are you doing out at this cold?''

''Hmm? Sorry I was pacing, what do you ask?''

''I was asking what are you doing out at this cold?''

''thinking...''

''oh, you still think about it, don't worry he's fine by now and it's not your fault''

''I just can't bare it''

Rouge hugged him, and dragged him to a ''Café'' to drink a hot cocoa, and talk a little. Shadow wasn't sure about it; he couldn't help but think about him. Rouge took his hand, and left a card which was written: Dr. Bat Therapist. Shadow took the card and Rouge smiling left. Shadow departed after his mug finished, and head back home, when he cross Sonic's on the road, which went out at the cold, sitting on a bench and seems thinking. Shadow stopped and looks over Sonic.

''Say hi?''

''Uh? Shadow? Sorry I didn't noticed, was thinking….''

'' M'kay? I guess, wanna walk with me?''

''Sure! Hey, you still sad?''

''Kind of, maybe I should change my mind once and for all''

''of course, wanna watch a movie to my place?''

''Guess I can, since I'm free all day….''

The two friends , start walk to Sonic's place and entered, Shadow sit on the couch, and wait for Sonic who was at the kitchen , bringing back a bottle and two glasses , Shadow Noticed the alcoholic beverage, and lean and the couch back's. Sonic poured the liquid, both took a glass and started to drink, Sonic's started the movie; both watched the movies as Sonic, try to lean against Shadow on a subtle motion. Shadow let him do, and once in a full year he felt happiness, and comfort, the very first time since Silver's departure. At the middle of the movie the two we're kissing deeply, and leaning on each other, not even thinking about the television. When suddenly Shadow paced out, and left Sonic's home running back to home. At his home Shadow start crying, like the day he lost Silver. Silver's hallucination appeared, and said: ''Hey, honey what's going on?''

''Silver honey, I don't wanna betray your memory''

''How? By having feelings for someone else and finally are happy?''

''I just can't assume you died, because I was an ass''

'' But it's not your fault, I decided to run and the car hit me''

Shadow leaned on the floor, while his hallucination sits next to him. He wasn't sure if Silver's presence was a mental trouble or a real ghost, but he felt it comforting, to have him next to. Silver's ghost smiled, and rubs Shadow's back. Shadow had hard time to admit, it wasn't his fault.

''Shad, it's not pretty sane to talk to a ghost, and please accept my departure and be happy''

''I can't, and never will. You're the one I love and always will. ''

''You don't need to forget, simply to accept ''

Silver vanished, and Shadow was alone again. He was thinking and send a text message to Sonic, saying.

''Sorry, dear I had to left. I need to think, and I want to give us a chance to explore if possible the possibility to go further than friends''
