Sonic was your boyfriend, and you two were at the beach, as you'd finally convinced him to go with you.

You two were in the water, mucking around, splashing each other with water, until Sonic saw something shiny under the waves, and he said, "Hold on babe! I'll be right back" And he dove under the water...but after about 30 seconds or so..he didn't come back up...and then you saw his hand, waving desperately for someone attention as he was struggling to stay afloat. He was far out, away from the shallow area, about a couple meters away, as the current had drifted him out. Your boyfriend was drowning.
