(Rare appearance of that Espio person go brrrrrr)
Greetings, people. Soooooooo I had a thought: What if Shockwave of all people got hanahaki?
In case you don't know what that is, lemmie fill you in: Hanahaki is a fictional disease where flowers grow inside of you (Sometimes even in other places), causing internal bleeding, which results in the infected person coughing up blood and petals, and this can ultimately end in death. The thing is, this disease is caused when someone has a strong romantic interest in someone that doesn't reciprocate their feelings.
Now, everybody knows (Or at least should know) that Shockwave of all people is pretty emotionless, and I'm pretty sure in some continuities this is because he purposefully blocked his emotions, deeming them "Pointless". However, if he got hanahaki, that would mean two things: First, his feelings weren't pointless, and second, holding them back was just hurting him. I think this would make for a great character arc. What do you guys think?
(Time to go back to nonexistence again yeeee)
