Okay then, time for my conformed question: What was it like encountering his friends after Snowpoint? Because while he might have some (maybe even most or all) of his memories back I imagine that it's kinda weird after all that time spent in Snowpoint.
I can imagine him feeling almost... a bit detached? But in a more surreal kind of way?? Kinda like meeting up with a friend you haven't talked to in years- not that I would know how that feels but it's what I'm imagining for the thing I'm trying to convey. I hope it made sense...
And as a random observation that I find highly amusing, I want you to know you tagged my last ask as anonymous instead of my username (cause I know that's a thing you do) by accident if you feel like changing it.
yeah, your description is pretty on the nose. in the time that they've been apart, sonic's lived this whole other "life" without his friends. he's grown close to completely new people, and those bonds are just as important to him as those he has with amy, knuckles, and etc. so, when he's reintroduced to the restoration, it's almost... nostalgic?
