We all know Maria Robotnik’s final wish was for Shadow to give humanity a chance to be happy. But people often forget why G.U.N. raided the Space Colony ARK in the first place: They discovered Grandpa Gerald’s secret research into the alien DNA.
Gerald only made a deal with Black Doom to save the terminally ill Maria. He used the alien’s blood to create Shadow, hoping to cure her. In the end, the Black Arms didn't save Maria—they led G.U.N. to the ARK, resulting in her death. Shadow is literally a living reminder of the deal that killed his best friend.

Without the alien pact, Shadow wouldn't exist. Without G.U.N.'s fear, Maria wouldn't have died. The ultimate life form was born from a tragedy he can never outrun. 🖤
