What was he doing.
He couldn’t even track through the water. Or well, not as good as he could on land. This was dumb. This was so dumb. But Chaos, how could everyone accept Sonic was dead.
Dead.
Why was Charmy of all people beat up about this? Why was he freaking out this much?
... In some weird way, he had assumed everyone around him was immortal. Well, of course he never directly thought that- but the idea of death was so nonexistent. It just wasn’t present in his life. He had known it was a thing... But he never thought it was ever, ever going to happen to anyone he knew.
And now it was shoved right in his face. So what was he supposed to do? Give up the search? No.
Sonic was alive, of course. Sonic couldn’t be dead. None of his friends could die that easy. It just wasn’t possible.
Please don’t let it be possible. Please.
