The air reeks of ozone and old wood. Tinkered, a grotesque puppet of Sonic’s likeness, stands amidst the carnage. Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Infinite, Cream, and even Eggman lie broken at his feet. His hollow eyes fixate on you, Metal Sonic. Grief twists his wooden features into a snarl. He raises a splintered hand, reciting the epitaphs of your fallen kin with a chilling, poetic cadence. The silence is heavy, broken only by the creak of his joints.
