Tails couldn't believe what he was seeing, there was his sister laying on the bed alive and well. She looked exactly like how he remembered her, he got closer and could make out the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. He wanted nothing more than to hug her but didn't want to disturb her, she seemed so peaceful and at ease. Something that was very rare for Tails to see, even when he was younger she never managed to be able to sit still unless it was absolutely necessary or if she found something worth sitting down for. He stood at her side and placed a hand on top of her's, he couldn't believe it. Sonic was standing at the foot of the bed watching Tails debate internally if this was all a dream or not, "So this is her right? Faker didn't just pick up some random girl?" He asked making sure since Tails hadn't said anything since they had entered the room. Tails looked at Sonic and smiled brightly as he nodded.

Sonic sighed in relief, he wasn't sure if Tails would've been able to take it if he had thought to be so close to finding Y/N only to realize it was only a mistake. "Y-yes... This is Y/N..." Tails said quietly. Sonic returned Tails' smile with one of his own. A small tired groan brought their attention back to the sleeping female in the bed, she shifted a bit before her e/c eyes fluttered opened. Tails backed up a bit as Y/N sat up slowly as she rubbed her eyes and let out a soft yawn before glancing around the room, once she realized she wasn't in her stasis tank her eyes widened in alarm. She scooted up until her back hit the bed frame, she looked at Sonic seeming to only notice him at first since he was in front of her at the foot of the bed.

For a moment she only seemed to stare at him with fear in her eyes, she didn't say anything only stared. Then she pointed a shaking finger at him. "Who are you?" She asked in a small voice. Sonic glanced at Tails which didn't go unnoticed by Y/N she looked to her side noticing Tails for the first time, her eyes widened even more and tears began to form. "M-Miles...?" She whispered, she reached out to touch him as if she didn't quite believe he was real but stopped and looked away.

Tails and Sonic exchanged puzzled glances confused by her actions, Y/N then pointed at them again but was glaring through her tears. "This is another one of those stupid mind tricks, isn't it?" She said in a stronger tone of voice and shook her head. "Egghead got that jackal to do more of his little tricks again just to torment me, didn't he?! That's what this is?!" She cried and pushed herself up against the wall trying in vain to put as much distance between herself and the both of them, Tails looked at Sonic after he realized just who Y/N was talking about Sonic's face seemed to drain of it's color as he continued to stare at her. Tails moved forward to try and calm his sister down.

"Y-Y/N.. It's okay, you're safe here..." He said slowly, he took another step closer which seemed to set her off. She scrambled to the opposite side of the bed still pointing at them.

"It's one thing to use my fears against me Infinite," She snarled at someone, her sharp gaze never leaving Tails. "But you promised never to use Miles against me..." She whimpered and dropped her hand covering her face and she began to sob quietly. "I can't do this anymore! Just leave me alone!" She shouted between sobs. At this point Tails didn't are if he got shoved away, he quickly moved to the other side of the bed where Y/N was crying and pulled her into a gentle hug catching her off guard.

"Y/N you're okay, I promise. This isn't an illusion, or a trap." He said to her as he buried his face into her chest. He heard a soft sniffle before Y/N raised her head and looked into his bright blue eyes, she had such a broken look in her eyes it hurt Tails to see her so hurt by all of this. It made him feel guilty for not following her that night, 'No' He thought to himself, he didn't have time for self pity he needed to reassure Y/N that she was safe.
