" How do you do it, Amy? How do you stay so upbeat when everything's... not? "
❝ You hold onto the little things. ❞ The hedgehog leaned onto the hilt of her hammer, swaying ever so slightly as her eyes drifted upwards.
It's hard, being Amy Rose. She's always been told that the way she wore her heart would get her in trouble and she was always fighting for the dream she believed in. Everyone, taking care of another in a world void of fear and malice.
❝ Living in the city, you know … ❞ Her lips curled up, " You see a whoooooole lotta people. The way that one person always stops by to feed a stray mobini, friends who are lost in the moment, strangers helping others pick up spilled groceries. ❝ She released a wistful sigh, before her eyes returned to the kit's. ❝ And, y'realize. It's not all bad. Small acts of kindness go a long way. ❞
And she has her friends, too. The way Knuckles teases her for her crush, or the way Sonic always knows how to cheer her up. There are good people in this world, and they would keep fighting to protect it.
❝ It’s also because of you. ❞ She poked the other's nose. ❝ You’re a sweet kid, Tails. Working with Eggman ... it can’t be easy. But I see the good in you. And the fact you’re here proves that not even the Doctor is hopeless. ❞ And that meant everything to her. To know that even Eggman might just need a little shove in the right direction. ❝ It’s not easy. But hold on to what matters to you, okay? ❞
