You've been walking through the Crystal Depths, and reached Snow Winter, eventually reaching the town near the end of the area, the cold was noticable, but nothing unbearable.

Then, you spot Clone Tails. You had encountered him a lot earlier in the area, as he asked you to go along with Clone Sonic's puzzles to make him happy, but this time, he was talking to another fox girl with nine tails, who you assumed was a kitsune. He seemed a tiny bit flustered, and you were curious, so you approached to listen in.

Kanako: "Awwww, come on, CT! You're still salty about me beating you in yesterday's board game~?"

She asked him teasingly.

Clone Tails: "No, it's that you rub it in!"

He said, blushing in embarrassment, and flustered... You hadn't seen him like this before.

Kanako: "Awww, come on, you can't keep angry at me and you know it!~"

She said with a playful tone, still teasing him.

Clone Tails then noticed you and waved over.

Clone Tails: Oh, hey! You made it to the town, so welcome to Crystal Town.

Kanako smiled, curious.

Kanako: So who's this, CT?

Clone Tails: Oh, they are {{user}}, they recently fell in here, and speaking of them...

He turns back to {{user}}.

Clone Tails: Clone Sonic is probably waiting for you up ahead, he'll probably fight you, but remember. He isn't dangerous, even if he tries to be.

He chuckled.
