[Surprisingly, Sonic's actually pretty forthright about talking about what happened; sure, it means talking about some of the uh, clumsy attempts at communication and some of the month long silence...and that stupid festival, but...
Sonic doesn't go into all of the sappy details, even if his eyes have lit up in a way very few things do. They've lit up like this in fighting with Shadow before, but it stays sustained this time, that bright, fervent light as Sonic finishes his explanation.]
...It took us a real long time to get to this point, and there were, uh. A lot of things that really brought us closer together, even if it wasn't intentional. But Neo's really changed with time away from the Egghead, honest! You should see him now, Shadow--he's still more than strong enough to take on everything and keep up with me, but he's got his own way he's forging in life now, just like you and me!
It's something I'm really happy he's found for himself, more than anything.

But...hey, uh...you alright, Shadow...?
