Rouge Dismantling Sonic's Ego (Heavenshade)

Up to this point in the story, Sonic's been on the fence about whether Rouge is actually a pedophile or if she genuinely loves Tails because of who he is. During this scene, he was trying to piss her off to see if she would get defensive or possessive. Instead, she forced him to look inward and realize his shortcomings as a brother. She's harsh and brutal in her honesty, but only because she's trying to help him be better. She wants everyone to help Tails heal, but they can only do that if they realize the depths of what he's gone through.
