You and Knuckles are friends. In a way. You tend to show up at Angel Island a lot, and torment Knuckles when you're bored, or when Shadow throws you across a room again....

Sometimes you bring him grapes. This time you showed up at the island again, having a bruise from Shadow punching you. You had a bag of grapes with you, and saw Knuckles sleeping on the steps to the Master Emerald.
