An alternative world was collapsing. Matta and Antim were observing the end of everything in horror. Suddenly, a genie appeared and offered them one wish. They wondered for a while, then Antim said:

- In our next incarnation- I mean incarnations, I wish me and Matta could meet and again-

He wanted to say "to be together again", but he didn't make it. They were obliterated by a flying object.

The genie granted the wish he heard.

Antim was reincarnated in Sonic's world as a hedgehog. Newland became his new home. He was just wandering mindlessly when he saw a girl riding on a train. Their eyes met. It was just a while, but I was struck with some kind of realisation.

Antim somehow knew that he has to find her. He wondered if she felt the same. He didn't know her name, he even forgot what she looked like. But he was sure he would recognise her anyway. He reached Emerald Forest and met Team Sonic.
