it's only me and you, who is gonna save you now?

You hop through the ring portals, barely escaping Eggman's forces and making it through (mostly) unscathed. On the plus side, you're all here - in fact, you'll find Tails and Vakama nearby, with the fox having brought your pal here too.

But unfortunately, "here" is not exactly the best place to be.

Welcome to the Void.

"Back here again...? Sheesh, I really can't catch a break.

"What is this place, Sonic?"

"This is the space between worlds. The void, I guess you could call it."

Everywhere you look there's a whole lot of nothing. Gemstone-like shards litter this reality in all sorts of shapes and sizes, serving as obstacles or platforms; they're sturdy enough to walk and stand on, but this world's rules are a little different from what you're used to. For one, gravity doesn't really work properly - you may find yourself floating or walking upside-down on a shard you didn't mean to end up on, and it's going to take some getting used to.

There's not really much to do or see here either - at least, not for now. You're welcome to explore this strange place, but you won't find anything particularly interesting... with one notable exception as seen in the comment below.

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, you'll feel like you're being watched.

[He nods.]

I think Ashley knows about the games too? I wasn't the first one to tell Sonic about it.

[crosswired]

And they were okay with this?

[No judgement, this just kind of a wild circumstance to be talking about seriously.]

[holeful]

I think so? Why wouldn't they be?

[Who cares if you're fictional in someone else's universe. You're still real in yours, is how he sees it.]

[crosswired]

It's... not exactly easy for someone to be told they are something born of make-believe in the eyes of someone else.

[He has some thoughts about this for reasons BUT ANYWAY.]

So long as they took it in good faith, though, I suppose there's nothing for it. How odd, though.

Have you known of all the figures we've met so far in this way?

[holeful]

Mm, not all of them. Team Sonic and Dr Robotnik for sure, and then two of the illusions Infinite made, Metal Sonic and Shadow, I knew those. But the rest might be in some of the Sonic games I haven't played.
