Chapter Text
You've probably heard of the phrase ”love is a battlefield”, but have you ever heard of “love on the battlefield”?
The second phrase seems to apply to Sonic the Hedgehog, if his latest post about his secret partner says anything.
romance ain't dead but these badnicks are
[Image id: A social media post taken from Sonic the Hedgehog’s social media page. In the background, a large Eggman base, tarnished and destroyed beyond recognition. In the middle ground, hundreds of discarded and broken badniks in a forest clearing. On the far left in the foreground, two hands, dirty with motor oil, holding each other with their fingers intertwined. The caption is, “romance ain't dead but these badnicks are”]
We've gotten one major hint with this post: whoever our hero is dating is part of Team Sonic. This takes Jet the Hawk, Blaze the Cat, Rouge the Bat, Knuckles the Echidna (because of the gloves) and Shadow off our list. Our main suspect, again, is now Amy Rose.
Unfortunately for us, the image above is again perfectly cropped, not a single strand of identifying fur, feathers or scale is visible. No one so far is able to make out any details from the stranger's hand except for the fact it's a leather glove.
Another important fact to add is the timing of this post. At first, Sonic would wait months to drop a hint for us. Recently, it's been weeks. However, in this instance, this post was only given to us two days after his last one. Could it be that our hero is getting as impatient as us now? Will we be gaining more clues closer together from now on? We can only hope so.
