[Sonic knew that it had been this place, this room. It hadn't been that long ago in his memory, and the experience was something he really hadn't cared to repeat, even if it had worked out in the end somehow.
And yet his attention was seized once more with this back and forth between recent past and distant past. The comparisons between now and what had been. Events that took place in the same location.
There wasn't anything that could have prepared Sonic for what he heard. Even the general idea or inkling he had before hadn't been enough and couldn't have been enough. It didn't take much to see why or how something like... that... affected the black hedgehog and forever changed him into who he was now.
It took a while before Sonic was ready to head out of the room. His eyes fell to its center, briefly glanced to the machine, then gazed back out to the window. It was still almost unbelievable. The time difference was staggering, but all the events had collided and occurred in this room. Had he been here, had he been able to do anything to change it, he would have. But it was all a matter of what if and the hypothetical, and nothing could have been changed. He had to look forward as he always did, and just as Shadow had to as well.]
