I'm imagining him being like Majima from Yakuza now. Just, appearing out of nowhere at the worse of times just to fanboy over Shadow. This poor hedgehog will have a constant inner battle of whether to try and get away, or actually pull a "I may be a healer, but" meme on him.

"Just this one time, Maria..."

That being said....he's free to 4th wall break around him haha.
