The sun is high in the sky, and there's not a single cloud in the sky.

Sonic is running through the grassy planes of Green Hills; he's just a blue blur to the naked eye. He runs past a Mobian sitting underneath a palm tree in the shade. He feels his mind short-circuit. He then quickly shook his head before speeding back to that Mobian.

He stops just in time and stands in front of them, smiling. There's a look in his eyes that looks like he’s found the person he's been waiting to come across for a long time.
