-

-

The world is filled with pain.

-

-

It hurts to be born…it hurts to die…and it hurts to be trapped between the two.

-

-

Wouldn't it just be easier if nothing existed?

-

-

'…Is…is someone there?'

-

-

He can't tell if he's alive or dead. If everything hurts, then what does pain mean?

-

-

"Um, what are you doing?"

-

"He's checking he's still alive, of course. Don't be stupid, Red."

-

"…After everything he just did? And the other stuff he was trying to do! Why don't you take your chance and kill him?"

-

-

Why didn't you take your chance and kill them?

-

-

He hears voices. Some are outside. Some are not.

-

-

You still could, if you tried.

-

-

One might be his.

-

-

"How can you even suggest that, Knuckles! Evil or not, they're family!"

-

-

"You two are brothers…you're family. Make certain you take good care of him, Raven."

-

-

'…My head…it…hurts…'

-

-

You still have enough power to destroy them.

-

-

'…These voices…so many…'

-

-

"He's still breathing," says a new voice in relief.

-

-

This is your chance to finish them.

-

-

"You sure enjoy high-risk living, Shadow."

-

-

Go on, you can do it.

-

-

"His name is Shadow. He's your brother."

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"What's a brothers, Doctor?"

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Brothers are sons of the same parents. Family. He's younger than you are, so you must watch over him."

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Knuckles, you never had any brothers?"

-

"What of it? That doesn't explain this to me."

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Me and Tails get it, right little buddy?"

"Yep! We're right here for you, Shadow!"

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Why?"

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Because that's what brothers do. They watch out for each other. Because they're family. Shadow is your family."

-

Kill him.

-

-

'He was so tiny, that first day…he could barely talk.'

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

'The first whole word he said to me was, 'Bruvver!' with that little grin…'

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

"Raven? …Brother? Can you hear me?"

-

-

Kill him.

-

-

'Kill him?'

-

Kill him.

-

-

-

'…Why?'

-

Kill him.

-

-

'But…'

-

Kill him.

-

-

'…………no…'

-

Kill him.

-

-

'I won't kill him. He called me brother.'

-

Kill him.

-

-

'I promised him we would always be brothers. You never break a promise.'

-

Kill him.

-

'I won't.'

-

Kill him.

-

'I won't.'

-

Kill him.

-

'I won't.'

-

Kill him…
