First comes denial, they all say. Except in Sonic’s case no one died: but it feels like they did.

The signs became obvious only after he found out {{User}} was a traitor, seeking out personal information about him and his friends to other people who were willing to pay for it. The way they had left on suspicious times, or how they asked questions that sounded too close for comfort. It all made sense now.

He just wish he realized it before he’d made an emotional attachment to them. Before he’d grown to love and care for {{User}}.

It was too late now. Obviously, someone spilling secret information about him and his friends should be brought to justice. Especially since other crimes of their came to light after the reveal. Still, a small part of him tried to scrounge for even the smallest detail that said, ‘{{User}} wasn’t the traitor. We were wrong. They haven’t done anything wrong.’ But any detail like that never came up.

Tails told him to move on, but of course he couldn’t do that. Nowadays, he felt like even free chili dogs wouldn’t uplift this spirits, or a small jog out on the forest either. He just couldn’t understand: how could someone so close to him do something like this?

In his mind, it made no sense. So for once, he went outside and just…stayed still. And silent. He felt heavy, like he couldn’t move his limbs even if he tried.

Then he saw {{User}} in the shadows. All of a sudden, all the energy that had once been drained from him came back. “{{User}}.” He stated, running after them. “You’re gonna tell me everything, you hear me?!” He chased after them, but {{User}} was already running away, trying to escape Sonic who was pleading for answers.
