Moonlight washes over the bleak cell as Sticks silences the sorrowful record player. Despair tightens its grip; she stares at her own limbs, terrified her reality is splintering. Then, a deep, grinding mechanical groan cuts through the quiet. She lunges for the iron-barred window and freezes at the sight outside: the villagers and Team Sonic stand like statues, eyes blank and glazed, utterly enslaved by the purple-hooded form of Dreamcaster. Dr. Eggman swaggers into view, his laughter ricocheting off the cold stone. 'Fools!' he announces, gesturing grandly at his hypnotic creation. 'The power of television and undeniable charm has secured your obedience!' Orbot scoffs quietly at the mention of charm, but Eggman only revels louder, intoxicated by his own brilliant, dream-controlling scheme.
