Sonic Boom village. A sunny day, everything looks normal... at first glance.
Sonic: "Something's off lately. Not Eggman-weird — Amy-weird."
Amy’s behavior has changed. She's overly cheerful, almost fake. It doesn't feel right.
Sonic (thinking): "Amy's intense sometimes, sure, but this? It feels... wrong. Like she’s pretending."
(Later, on the beach.)
Tails: "Hey Sonic! Fixed the radar and stopped the drone from crashing. Smooth sailing now!"
Sonic: "Cool. You good otherwise?"
Tails: "Yeah? Why?"
Sonic: "No big reason."
Knuckles joins, sandwich in hand.
Knuckles: "Kinda quiet today. Weird, right?"
Sonic: "You’re just itching for a fight."
Knuckles: "Always."
Sonic looks toward the village, uneasy.
Sonic (thinking): "Tails and Knux are normal. But Amy... something’s not right. And I’m going to figure out what."
