Meanwhile at the castle, the servants where ashamed of how the frightened Knuckles by accident.

Marine: Papa, we didn't mean to scare him, right?

Sonic: No, Marine, I think he was only surprised at us.

Marine: Yay!

As Amy walks in circles, Sticks tries to calm her down.

Sticks: Amy, stop moving in circles. You're getting everyone anxious.

Amy: I can't help it! Watching him freak out! Then, Rouge comes in and what's next? He's knocked out on the ground!!

Sticks: Amy, stop! Marine's here!

Amy sees Marine hiding behind her father in fear and sighs.

Amy: Sorry, I'm just frustrated.

Sonic: Don't be. I'd do the same thing if I was him.

Sticks: And you'd scold at her. But she had no right to do that.

Speaking of Rouge, she enters in the room as everyone looks at her.

Rouge: What?

Sonic comes up to her with Sticks as Amy covers Marine's ears and eyes for her to not hear or watch this.

Sonic: You should be ashamed of yourself! You come and scream at him when he already had a traumatic thing to him!

Rouge: Sorry, Sonic...

Sticks: Tell that to the person you yelled at!

Rouge merely leaves the room.

Rouge: I'm going to get some sleep.

Sticks: What? Bu-.

Rouge: I said I'm going to bed! 

She heads to her destroyed room and picks up the mirror.

Rouge: Chip... I really need some help, if only I knew where you are... Show me the child. 

The mirror shows Knuckles is still unconscious on the bed before fading away.

Rouge: Out of all the men in the world, why him? If he remembers me... I'm a goner.

The snow outside had grown stronger as the wind howled the castle.
