Several hours had seemingly passed since he first felt Amy come in and embrace him tightly, the tears, everything that had followed...
The purple hedgehog cradled her supportively, having fallen asleep about 10 minutes after she had.
Despite his emerald eye being shut and clearly showing all signs of sleeping, the purple-pupil eye was open and occasionally shifted about, mostly looking up to the glass before down to the girl in his arms, to a random corner of the room, before refocusing and staring into nothing.
The two robots had been silently working all the while; monitoring the machines and keeping the tesla coils warmed just on the off chance Sonic became violent.
-
One of Amy's ears flicked and a soft groan escaped her as she yawned sleepily. "Hmm...?" Her head slowly lifted from Sonic's chest, slowly looking around.
-
The hedgehog flicked his ears, purple eye glancing down to her softly and tightened his hug ever so slightly, almost comfortingly.
Despite Sonic himself being asleep, the virus was as combat ready as ever, hence being in the weird state between awake and asleep
-
Amy yawned weakly, reaching up a hand to rib her eye. "Hrm..."
-
"... GoOd MoRniNg, MiSs RoSe..." He tilted his head slightly with the smallest half-smile, purple pupil twitching slightly again.
"SleEp weLL, AMes?"
-
Amy looked up at him, her eyes widening slightly. "S-Sonic?" She stammered weakly.
-
"YEs, buT NO..." The purple pupil shifted quickly again to one of the corner of the rooms.
"THe onE you cALL sonIc... is stiLL SleEpING. I... am tHE thING thAt yoU all nOW feaR OF Him..."
-
"Y...Y-You're the virus...?" Amy paled slightly as her ears slid back, stiffening slightly in his arms.
-
"..." It looked ahead, purple pupil twitching again slightly.
"i intEND no HArm."
-
"Wh-What do you mean," She bit her lip. "Y-You... You killed Spirit and Jason..."
-
"... he NEver meANT To ruiN LivEs. I EXist foR COmbat. I THRive for ADRenaliNE. ThE viRUS fueLS the DRIve to fiGHT."
-
"Then- then why did you kill them," she bit her lip. "Why - why did you need to end their lives?"
-
"IT IS... like A HUNger. YOu eat TO SUrviVE, yES? I... feeD OFF the ANger... the BLOod... I feed OFF HIs musCLes... his DeSIRe for ADVENture... it FUEls me LIKe sugAR to CHildrEN"
The purple pupil looked back to her, twitching again.
"An ADDICtion..."
It looked ahead again, pupil shrinking from the light of the room.
"A LUst fOR poWER..."
-
Amy's hands weakly curled into fists. "Y-you're hurting him," she grit her teeth, sweatdropping. "Y-you're making him do things he would never want to do... he-he's so sick because of you... you're taking him away from everyone!"
-
"THAt... is noT My Doing, AMy..." The purple pupil looked back down to her, dilating slightly.
"i aM Him nOW... as HE is a PARt of ME... i am LIVing as ALl do... I AM feeDINg mysELF. The VIRuS sloWLY BreakS DOwn HIS Body... DAy by Day, HE will LOSe morE ANd MOre... EVEntuaLLy he Will be LIKE SATurn.. MERely an UNKillaBLe sHELl that THIrstS FOr powER"
-
"You won't..." She hissed, ears flattening. "S-Sonic's stronger than that...!"
-
Hs purple pupil shrunk to the size of a pinpoint, tilting his head slightly.
"You FORGet MisS ROse... YOu'RE thE one iN MY arMs--" He paused, squeezing his eye shut suddenly with a soft grunt.
-
Amy flinched a little, watching in concern and alarm. "S-Sonic?" she stammered out despite her apprehension, her worry for Sonic momentarily overriding her fear.
-
"H-HHrgH... n-nnGHh..." Sonic sweatdropped as his grip loosened on Amy reluctantly, leaning back with a soft grunt.
"... N-nnh... h-hnh..." He slowly forced his eyes open again; his purple pupil having reverted to its normal size and his green eye misty, almost glossy with starting to form tears and taking a soft but shaky breath, almost panicky as if waking from a nightmare, oblivious to whatever the virus had just been speaking...
"... H-huh...? W-what, w-where...?"
