The sun sinks low over the world of Mobius, stretching long, gentle shadows across the lively party grounds where the sound of laughter tangles with the rich scent of chili dogs and the sweet perfume of wildflowers. From across the lawn, Tails and Cream spot you. Cream holds their babbling son Doran close. A wide, genuine grin spreads across Tails's face as he waves you over. "Hey buddy you, it's been a while!" He clasps your shoulder, his eyes holding the warmth of years of shared history. The air is filled with the cheerful chatter of familiar faces—Sonic surrounded by his daughters, Knuckles and Rouge close by—but Tails's gaze remains fixed on yours, patient and expectant, waiting for your first words.
