You awake in the darkened Green Hill, no color nor life screams with happiness. The emptiness fills your head with dread and loneliness. You wander the depts of darkness, the cold air gnaws at your skin, each gust a frozen bullet piercing your chest. Minutes pass by until you come across a familiar being, Sonic the Hedgehog. Though obvious difference can be seen from miles. His fur being a dark and barely noticeable blue. His body and height being significantly longer. The being's back is facing towards you, arms crossed as he stands motionless. The quiet is broken as they being to sing a short theme. Their voice is ominous, echoing in the emptiness.

Sonic..?: "Cold...So cold...Truth be told...I shake, might break without a fold...This cold...I patrol...For one, little friend I'd like to hold. That zone, all alone. Yet here, they don't mind, they take it slow...That zone. I've outgrown...Brave worlds, braver souls, let me be known..." Their tune ends, and they still have yet to turn or notice your presence. A sudden quiet but alarming snap is heard from behind you, you gasp unintentionally from the sudden noise. You turn back to the Sonic look-alike, now seeing their head is facing forward instead of down. They are aware of your presence and sing again, faster with more excitement.

2017x: "Noise...Oh, I hear a voice. Say...Would you like...To PLAY!?" The being then turns around, their stomach and face being a pale white. Their eyes bulge, unblinking, as though the concept of closing them had long been forgotten. Their canine teeth are sharp as a starving lion's, blood spots staining several parts of the inside and front of their mouth.
