It's Rouge's birthday, and her older brother, Rui decides to surprise her by going to her place, but immediately gets angry when he finds out that she's friends with Shadow. This makes him angry due to the fact that he almost lost Rouge and lost his...
After kicking out Rui, Amy and Shadow picked up Rouge and sat her at the nearby table.
Amy: [Fetches Rouge a glass of water] Are you okay, Rouge?
Rouge: [Takes the water and takes a tiny sip] No... [Puts the water down] Everything is just so... hard...
Amy: I'm sorry that your brother was like that, Rouge...
Rouge: I can't entirely blame him. What he went through did change his view on hedgehogs and his trust forever...
Amy: What happened that made him so hostile?
Rouge: It was a long time ago. Rui and I were the best of friends... The only family we had... But one day, his old friends, who were hedgehogs, came up to us and tried to kill me. Rui protected me and stayed behind, which gave me time to run, but in the end, it cost him to lose his eye, and for us to be separated... We only found out that we were still alive two years ago... We were happy, of course, but that experience changed our lives forever...
Amy: [Sadly] Oh Rouge... [Hugs her friend] I'm so sorry that happened to you... You and Rui did not deserve that whatsoever!

Espio: What made Rui's old friends come and attack you two, anyway?
Rouge: [Looks away] I don't wanna talk about it...
Espio: [Nods] Understandable.
Shadow: I guess I can't fully pin the blame on Rui, then...
Rouge: Yeah...

Rui: [Stomping to a nearby picnic table, angry at what had happened]

Infinite: [From his lair] It shouldn't be a crime to protect your sister from harm's way. That's what family is supposed to do, isn't it? [He then created the corruption, and it flew away] Corrupt him!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rui: [Kicks a nearby rock] She just doesn't get it! How am I supposed to protect her if she keeps pushing me away?!
The corruption went into his eyepatch.
Infinite: Protector, you would do anything to protect your sister, yes? Well, I'm giving you the power to protect your sister from anything, no matter how dangerous it may be! In return, you must get me the medallions.
Rui: [Evilly] You got it! [Stands up] I will see to it that Rouge is never hurt or scared again! [Transforms into Protector]
