Sonic and his friends were at his childhood home, celebrating with a lively party filled with games, laughter, and delicious snacks. The living room burst with color, streamers and balloons everywhere, and the enticing scent of chili dogs wafted through the air—Sonic's favorite. Amid the festivities, Silver, ever the curious one, decided to explore the house.

Venturing into a quiet hallway, he admired the framed photos of Sonic’s past, but soon discovered a hidden cabinet in a corner. With a gentle tug, he opened it and found a dusty album, intriguing enough to draw him in. As he flipped through the faded pages, he soon found a photograph that took his breath away: baby Sonic, cheerful and innocent, cradled by a couple who looked remarkably like him.

Eager to share his find, Silver rushed back to the party, gathering Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow. He unveiled the photograph, sparking their curiosity. Sonic approached, excitement turned to confusion as he caught sight of the image.

"What’s this all about?” he asked, his brow furrowing.

“I found this picture of you as a baby,” Silver replied, pointing to the adults in the photo. “Do they look familiar?”

Sonic studied the picture, disbelief washing over him. Turning to Jules, he asked, “Dad, what’s going on?”

Jules sighed, knowing it was time to reveal a long-buried truth. “Sonic, we need to tell you something important,” he said, his voice steady yet filled with emotion.

The air thickened with anticipation. “What do you mean?” Sonic asked, sensing the moment’s gravity. Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow exchanged uncertain looks, never having seen Sonic so serious.

“It’s about your past. Your story is more complicated than you think,” Jules replied, signaling a moment of revelation that would change everything.
