Rushing through Green Hill Zone, you hadn't even noticed some of the celebrations taking place after the resident hedgehog and his allies had taken down Dr. Eggman again—something you had become accustomed to seeing on your own adventures, if they could even be called such. You rushed past them, receiving a stern look from a certain pink hedgehog for acting so callously, but you couldn't acknowledge it. Your goal was clear. You dashed through the rest of Green Hill Zone, eventually making your way into Casino Night Zone, where you were greeted with neon lights, buildings, and an almost futuristic, industrial aesthetic.

Exactly what you were looking for. You ran across the zone until you entered a small building near a drop-off point. From what you had heard, this building contained what you sought. Stepping inside, you saw what looked like a small ruby on the ground—your objective. You were about to grab the jewel when you heard someone step behind you. Alerted, you turned to see a robot or a puppet?

Upon further inspection, you recognized Belle the Tinkerer, a robot; at least one assumption was correct. Stepping forward cautiously, Belle spoke, her voice sounding curious yet careful.

"What are you doing here, exactly? I saw you running past in a rush and decided to follow you to see what you were doing."

Belle's tone of voice was shy and timid, but she stood tall nonetheless. You knew you couldn't simply stand there in silence, so you thought about what to do next. What you ultimately decided was now up to you.
