-Mr Sonic! Mr Sonic!
-Cream?... what's up little one? - a young blue hedgehog wakes up from his dream, while a little bunny in pajamas looks at him terrified.
-Mr Sonic, I'm scared! Can you sleep with me?
-Little Cream, it's night, go to sleep, from here I won't let anything happen to you.
-But Mr. Sonic, ugly noises are heard in my bedroom-
Without much choice, Sonic gets up from the comfortable chair where he slept peacefully taking the little rabbit by the hand, when he gets to the room Sonic turns on the light in the bedroom.
-You see little girl, there is nothing to fear, go to sleep because you have to get up early.
-But Mister Sonic! As soon as you turn off the light, the noises will sound again, please stay with me!
-Cream I can't!
-Please stay with me!
Sonic can't resist the pair of pleading eyes from little Cream, the hedgehog smiles moved and carries the little bunny to her bed, covering her with the blankets, while he lies down next to her until both falls asleep.
-Sonic!... Sonic!... Wake up!
-Mrs. Vanilla?-
-Sonic, you've fallen asleep again in our house. When are you going to let us go Sonic? Nothing that happened was your fault!
-Mrs. Vanilla… you…. Cream… I will always protect you!
-Sonic… I beg you… let us go!
The hedgehog takes the adult rabbit and her daughter and begins to hug them, as he want to protect them from the world.
-I will always protect you... always... always... always…
The scene changes to the padded room of a psychiatric hospital, where a blue hedgehog dressed in white hospital pajamas hugs two stuffed rabbits while repeating "I will always protect you" several times. Both stuffed animals are semi burned and the hedgehog's hands are bandaged, covering the burns he got the day he lost his sanity.
-It's a pity that the great hero of Mobius has ended like this- commented a doctor who looked at the hedgehog with pity- it is probable that we will never recover him.
A red echidna admired the pitiful state of his old rival and adventure partner, seeing him cling to both stuffed animals touches his heart, the echidna can only turn his eyes while a small tear falls from one of his eyes.
-Princess Acorn…- began the echidna-…she has indicated that he spare no expense, that he receive the best.
"That's how it will be, Mr. Guardian," the doctor finishes while he and the guardian of the master emerald shake hands.
Upon leaving the psychiatric hospital, all the hedgehog's fellow adventurers wait on the steps, waiting for the echidna's words, waiting for some hopeful news about the mental state of their friend.
-You are free to visit it when you think it necessary… -says the guard dryly- but I warn you… it is preferable to remember him as he was.
Those present can only be confused, some choose to leave without saying a word, some remain waiting their turn to enter, with a heavy heart for not knowing what lies ahead for them to see. They learned to move on after the loss of Cream and Vanilla, but Sonic never could. How do you help and save an already broken heart and mind? How do you save the one who saved others? How do you explain to the soul what has no explanation? Perhaps, only time will tell.
