(The first part of this chapter is written from Tails' point of view.)
It's been two years…Two years since me, Sonic and the rest saved the universe from those fucking Metarex…Two years since I lost the love of my life…During those two years, I've been depressed to the core…I've just not been myself during those two years, and my friends could notice that…The things that happened two years ago have been haunting me in my sleep ever since…Not a single night have I been able to get good sleep…During the day, I'm haunted by daydreams, while during the night, I'm haunted by nightmares…I really didn't want to kill her, but I had to, because the fate of the universe depended on it…Cosmo, I still miss you…I really do…

Tails was working on a plane in his workshop over in his workshop in Mystic Ruins. He was deep in thoughts as he worked on the plane. On the workshop radio, an emotional ballad was playing.
'My life is just so empty…I don't think I'll ever be able to love again…' Tails thought to himself as he continued to work on the plane.
At the end of the day, Tails went back to his bedroom and fell asleep. He once again had nightmares about Cosmo. The next morning, he woke up and got out of bed. He went downstairs to make his breakfast. He had made some peanut butter sandwiches, and began to eat them. He didn't really care how they tasted, he needed food and made the sandwiches. After eating, he went to his workshop to work on his plane. As he was working, Tails heard a knock on the door. Tails sighed and walked over to the door to open it. Sonic was standing there.
'Hey, buddy. It's been a while since I've last seen you. Is everything okay?' Sonic asked Tails.
'Could've been better, Sonic…Could've been better…' Tails responded.
'Look, I know you still miss Cosmo, but I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted you to live in such despair. She would've wanted you to stay strong. Put the past behind you. It's happened, and you can't do anything about it.' Sonic told Tails.
'I know, and I keep trying to tell myself that, but it's not that easy, Sonic! Cosmo was my one true love, and now she's gone...I really wish I didn't have to kill her, but I had to in order to save the universe…' Tails said sadly.
Sonic nodded. 'I understand, buddy. If you need anything, just give me a call, okay?'
'Alright, I will…' Tails said.
'Okay. Catch you later, Tails!' Sonic said as he ran out the door.
Tails nodded and closed the door, then continued working on the plane.
Meanwhile, in Station Square, a human who has half bat was sitting in his apartment. This was Alex 'The Bathuman' Cleveland. Like Tails, he was depressed because of Cosmo's death.
(This is from Alex's point of view.)
It's been two years since the death of my friend Cosmo…Two years we had to kill her because of those fucking Metarex…Her death deeply saddened me…I even considered quitting my job as a Captain in a military squad, but Chris Thorndyke convinced me to continue the job, because he said that's what Cosmo would've wanted…I trusted him on his word, and continued serving the military, albeit in a deep depression…Cosmo, wherever you are, know that I miss you a lot…

Alex was watching soaps on his tv. Alex wore a red bathrobe with a white t-shirt and boxers underneath.
'Gordon, know that no matter how long you'll be gone, I will always love you!' The tv actress said.
'Madeline, my love, I'll always think of you while I'm out at sea! My heart belongs to you only!' Gordon responded. Gordon and Madeline then hugged. Alex dried his eyes and blew his nose. The saloon table was full of soft drinks and snacks. Alex grabbed a bag of Cheese Crunchies and began eating them.
'Ugh…I wish Tails was as lucky to still have Cosmo…' Alex groaned. He looked at his photo of him Cosmo, which was also on the saloon table.
'I'm sure you would've wanted to be here with me, Tails and the rest…' Alex said to the picture. He then continued watching tv.
