Summary
Tangle always thought heroism meant adventure - the kind with fun adventures, dramatic speeches, and stories she’d brag about later to her fans, but when what was supposed to remain a simple tracking mission spirals into disaster, trapping them countless feet underground, chasing after fakes who are between robotic or illusion, she learns that heroism is heavier, demanding, and far more suffocating than she ever imaged.
It doesn’t help that, since their unfortunate cave-in, Sonic has been acting… strange.
Rambling, fidgeting, and putting too much focus on tracing the walls, keeping a hand on it at all times. Sure, he’d still smile, laugh, and joke around, but there’s tension in the way he staggers, chills, and switches between rambling or going completely silent. Tangle chalks it up to stress, exhaustion, or the strangeness of situation but the deeper they go, the more the cracks begin to show in the cave walls, in the world’s expectations, and even in the heroes themselves.
Sometimes the greatest dangers aren’t the villains they face, but the pressure that builds when no one is allowed to rest. After all, pressure makes cracks, and when it finally breaks, what holds them?
