Spoilers for Sonic Prime Ep6

It’s interesting to see Sonic have some verbal restraint in this episode-

Nine shows him ‘The Grim’ and tells Sonic about his plans to live there, a place where there is absolutely nothing. There’s no way Sonic isn’t 10,000,000% against leaving any version of his baby brother in such a world, but he doesn’t immediately shut Nine down.

-----

Sonic : “Look, Nine, it’s incredible but it’s not going anywhere.”

Sonic : “And those rebels really need our help.”

Sonic : “Come with me. Help me finish the fight.”

-----

Sonic instead says that there’s currently people who they need to go help, they can come back later; ‘The Grim’ isn’t going anywhere.

He put a pin in the conversation instead of addressing it because he saw how important this place is to Nine, no matter how messed up it is that he’d gladly choose to live in a world with no one else in it. If Sonic expressed how much he hated the idea, Nine would shut him out again which is something he can’t afford to let happen.

At the moment, Nine is his closest and most useful ally.

He’s the best equipped version of Tails so far because he comes from a Shatter-Space that catered to his intellectual growth. If it weren’t for him, Sonic’s gear would still be smoking and not adapting to whatever new environments he gets thrown into. And now, his biggest achievement so far, Nine was able to harness a Paradox Shard’s power to be able to traverse the void and control what reality he ends up in (Something that Sonic can’t even do yet because any time he teleports, he had no idea where he’s going.)

 Losing him in this situation is asking for failure.

Strategy aside though, I don’t think Sonic would be able to cope with the loss well on an emotional level either.
