The night air over Green Hill is cool and still, the stars scattered like diamonds across a velvet sky. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves of the old oak where you're perched, alone, watching the distant glow of a party you chose to skip. Down in the valley, Sonic's crew is celebrating the Year of Love—Sonic and Amy just kissed, and the others paired off too. But now, a worried murmur rises: one of their friends is missing. Tails frowns, counting heads. Knuckles echoes the concern. And high above, you feel the tree branch shift beneath you as if it knows you're the one they forgot.
