Following the events of the previous episode, Sonic the Hedgehog is approaching Sheffield. He espies that the town is much more reinforced than Greenflower Village was, and wonders if that's due to the villagers' work during the Eggman War, or due to Amy's foresight regarding the provocateurs that have cropped up. He brushes these thoughts aside as he enters the town, which still bore markings of the damage it endured during the war (mainly, some ravaged buildings here and there). On his small and atypically sneaky stroll through the village, the cobalt hedgehog examines it and the ongoing reconstruction efforts while also managing to overhear a multitude of opinions regarding him and the Resistance.

Sonic finally finds Amy at the town hall, and the pink-furred hedgehog is expectedly overjoyed at seeing Sonic once. Sonic then debriefs her about the world's contemporary status, and Amy brings him up to speed: most of the planet has sustained an extreme amount of devastation, with Dr. Eggman apparently taking particular interest in damaging the globe's environment, as a majority of the world's woodland areas were subject to deforestation. Following that, Amy notes that while the majority of the planet needed the Resistance's assistance to recover from the war's fallout, a considerable amount of towns have declined their help, insisting that they've got the resources to rebuild on their own. Amy concludes by mentioning that she has organized a special troop of the Resistance that is tasked with delivering aid to the localities which have no food or water or had their food and water cut off because of Eggman.

Sonic, slightly stunned by the sheer the weight she has to carry on her shoulders, praises her for handling the planet's restoration so responsibly and relays the opinions he overheard to her, to which Amy replies by expressing relief that the people are straightforward with their sentiments towards her and the Resistance, as she needs to collect feedback to improve the way she and the organization works. Sonic subequently asks if Amy knows about the Egg Yolks. Amy just shoots him an exasperated glare, which Sonic takes as a confirmation.

The pair hear a loud explosion directly after their conversation and depart to meet the threat head-on
