The reflection she sees of herself is the modern, sanitized version of Rouge. Her cleavage is gone, her boobs are practically nonexistent, her curves are erased, and her tan skin is white. It's commentary on the way SEGA sees her old body as something obscene to be censored for modern sensibilities, but you could also view it more generally as a piece of artwork about body image issues. Imagine if you woke up and the you that you saw in the mirror wasn't you. The things that people admired about you and made you feel confident were taken away and now you're expected to live that way. It's enough to make anyone cry.
