Party Rock Anthem only it's played on kazoos
[Oscar is a practiced master at Coping (tm) in the face of things he would prefer not to address in any sort of healthy or rational manner. After the events of yesterday, he's somehow getting the feeling that he isn't the only one, which means that in his mind there is only one thing to do: this translates to yet another Walmart booze heist (even larger than the original), a few side trips to amass snacks because RIP his kitchen, and some haphazardly erected decorations in one of the spare rooms to try to at least give off something of a celebratory atmosphere... but let's be real here, this is just Misery x CPR x Reese's Puffs + alcohol.
Sunday morning will find handwritten notes tucked under everyone's doors inviting them to a party that evening, snacks and drinks (that particular word underlined a couple of times, just in case people didn't pick up on the meaning of "party") provided gratis.
There's alcohol, there's soda for the minors, there's plenty of junk food to eat, and there are a whole bunch of other people who are also Going Through It. What better recipe for a party could you ask for?
... don't answer that.]

As in, you now exist in the present that he left behind.
I would say my statement still stands, then. Even if you walk now where he has stopped, I would still stay the choice lies on you what you choose to do with those memories, where your future is shaped from your fresh steps in the sands of time.

Ghost or not.

Yes... All that remains to me is to take my past failures and let them teach me a brighter path forward. For the sake of those who rely on me now, I must strive to become a better man. Better yet than even the ideal my old heart clung to.

Do you know what it was that brought those memories back to you?

It pains me a little to say, but all the violent invasion of our minds that was perpetrated by Infinite and Shadow may have worked out in my favor. They quite forcefully broke down barriers that I might not have surmounted on my own.

I'd be a little unsettled to know either of them had that sort of reach into what makes us what we are. But... perhaps if they can do as much, then so can Robotnik.
Better that it came to you now, than to be used as ammunition by our enemy.
