★]—> “Why would he even wanna eat that in the first place? Dude, gone-off food tastes even worse than it smells.” Unpleasant memories of eating a bad chili dog sprung to Sonic’s mind and caused him to shudder slightly. “Anyway, if that’s his choice then I dunno what more y’could do other than give him advice.”

He smiled meekly at the other and happily hummed. — It’s my pleasure. I’m just glad I can help.”

“They’ve been binge eating nothing but those cookies for months already. And two strawberries yesterday. From what I can tell, they’ve been given nothing but advice.”

Rebecca shuddered at the thought, wondering if Silver would still eat them if she told him food grows mold. The little voice in the back of her mind said he could and would.

“Normally I’d be making amateur ice sculptures to vent my frustration but this is much better.”

” — Hey, it’s all good! I know ventin’ can help, so I’m all ears if there’s anythin’ else ya wanna talk about.“

"What just irks me the most is that I’ve explicitly told him the risks of eating expired food. But if he wants to get food poisoning and refuse hospital care, hey, it’s the path he chose. Who am I to get in the way of a hungry glutton? He won’t listen to what anyone says after all.”

The former champion gave him a soft smile for that.

“Thank you. I appreciate it. I really do.”

★]—> “Gee, uh…" A pause. “Well, I guess we all make bad choices, right? Maybe they’re just goin’ through a rough patch and makin’ some bad choices?” 

Even though mentioned ‘bad choice’ would be a massive understatement. Lying to a supposed best friend isn’t exactly just a ‘bad choice’.

"…It’s a pleasure ta meet ya, though.”

“It better be just a ‘patch’. I’m not their mother and I don’t want to start being their mother. Because unlike a mother, I cannot stand whiny brats who cannot control their own tempations.”

She adjusted her headphones so they wouldn’t fall off.

“A pleasure to meet you too, Sonic. I wish we could have met when I was in a better mood. I’m sorry for dumping all this on you.”

★]—> Well, she certainly didn’t sound very happy.  “Hm… At least nobody could blame ya for tryin’. Not everyone can be helped, ‘specially if they don’t wanna help themselves anyway.” 

“— Oh, I never got yer name. I’m Sonic, in case you’ve never met an alternate before.”

“I tried giving them fruit. They even said they liked strawberries. Now I know they simply lied just to make me feel better. They’d prefer expired, food poisoning inducing cookies and threatening people for food.

Rebecca. Again, apologies if I sound too irritated. Because I honestly thought them to be my best friend. Someone I could truly trust, y’know?”

The former champion took a deep breath to try to calm herself down. It wouldn’t do to fly off the handle now.

“I honestly thought they were better than that.”

★]—>  “Hey, s’cool. Someone been botherin’ ya or somethin’?” Way to start a conversation, Sonic. You don’t even know who she is!

“Yes. I learned today that trying to help someone out of their self-destructive path is a horrible idea and they’re better off simply eating expired girl scout cookies for the rest of their life.”

She may have sounded more irritated than she intended. Then again, after the day she had been through, Rebecca needed an outlet for the irritation and talking it out was the best way for her.
