[The look on Sonic's face is priceless when Shadow says his first sentence. He was distracted by his surroundings, slightly annoyed by the situation (okay, very annoyed), but what the other said kind of snapped him out of that as the hedgehog slowly turned to stare at the otehr one.
What?
Oh. Oh no, this was one of those 'Santa is not Real' kind of situations, wasn't it? It made sense, if the other had been locked away for who knows how long and then only proceeded to hang around the stupid doctors... well, it made sense he wasn't properly informed about some important things in life.]
Shadow... I am so, so sorry. [He did look like he was going to give the other a terrible news and perhaps it was the case.] Chao are not real. They were a popular cartoon and now there's a raising game with them but that's all. Those chaos are so ig because you're supposed to have people in costume working in this place...
[Who even knew The Chaoverse was popular even back then. Sonic enjoyed the games, he knew the chao were as tall as two apples or little more in them but... that's what they were. Games. And an old cartoon that was worshiped by some weirdos around the world.]
It's the name of a place. The Chao Garden. It's part of a franchise. And this was the one in Tokyo.
[Oh, dear, he couldn't believe he was explaining stuff like this to the other. It was, like, something people learnt at ten? Still, a spot caught his attenton as he fully turned in the direction of the table where his third adventure pretty much started. His lips turned into a thin line before he shook any bad memory away and returned his attention on Shadow, who was skating around the place.]
This place was destroyed. A good part of it. Why is it here? I mean... it this White Space something where things that blew up end, somehow?
[The unsaid question: Did *I* blow up without realizing?]
