>You-you have to be like me on some level!

>Not like that! Sonic's told me about you! You're not cruel like *him*! You're willing to hear people out! You've got enough personality to acknowledge family! You don't gotta be part of Eggman's just because he made you! I know it's hard but...there's people out there who can help you pick up the pieces. You at least...you at least have a sister.
>There is one factor you've neglected to consider, Belle the Tinkerer.

>You are an assistant developed to accommodate a lack of resources. Your function is done infinitely more efficiently by hydraulics. You hold no love for Father beyond what you glean from a mentally impaired state. You bear no database of pop cultural humor or witty repartee with which to amuse.
