[ shadow watches, his heart hollow, but only due to his own actions of what he's done to upset maria. if that soul is so good then that's what she needs at the moment, a good soul that she can trust. shadow stands in place, his gaze lifts up towards the sky above at how dark everything is. this sort of atmosphere is something he relates to too well, and maybe it's what he deserves.
that should be him where that other shadow is, but it's not, because in the end this was a personal request.
slowly, the hedgehog slowly makes his way over as maria holds onto the younger one, and the younger one keeps her close despite his attempt to look in an opposite direction. the box in hand is placed on the ground by maria, a tag hanging off on the side that she can pull to easily unwrap it whenever she wishes.
pulling his hand away, the hedgehog takes a step back, his steps clearly meticulously calculated to ensure he doesn't cause too much noise. one hand on his hip, his brows furrow as he looks off to the side himself. ]
......
[ they're sensitive, they seem to need this more than anyone at the moment, and he leaves them to that.
maybe he was wrong. maria's intuition has never been wrong, she has known things that shadow would have never believed. she's expressed to him things that he wouldn't have thought possible.
an amazing girl with an extraordinary talent. if she could do that for him, then the other one probably needs that hope more than he does. ]
