#nothing we've seen so far is giving me the usual 'superpower of teamwork' vibes

Given what we’ve seen of Frontiers, maybe the relationship between Sonic and Amy is going to be challenged?
I'm... unsure about what they'll do with their relationship in the game.
Realistically speaking, I'm expecting more teasing than in previous mainline games (current expectations: Unleashed-levels of teasing), but there's also something awfully angsty about recent stuff they've shown. That CGI trailer scene, I'm Here's video highlighting "In my hands I hold the ones I love" and "new horizons" with blue and pink specifically. I have absolutely ZERO arguments for Vandalize being a "SonAmy song" (though I love the fact the fandom accepted it as such and created legendary pieces of art like this one), but I can't stop thinking about how it would fit after a dramatic ending. It'd be highly unusual for a modern mainline game to end on a note different from "well, we beat the baddies and everything's back to normal, onward to the next adventure!", but I swear I have no idea what to expect out of this game, and I have this lingering feeling it might not be your usual happy ending. The reason? They chose to use Vandalize as the ENDING THEME. Something's up here, Vandalize ain't a happy song, and it wasn't picked just to fit a collab slot, it has the Starfall Islands' motif, for fuck's sake. That fucking song is important, and it's making me LOSE MY HEAD OVER IT.
Anyway, yes, SonAmy Frontiers. I have no idea how much of this is going to be SonAmy-exclusive, since at the very least there's still Tails and Knuckles (and probably Eggy too?) to rescue and they'll be just as relevant to the story, but there's something rotten in here, and I'm starting to question if it's gonna be all sunshine and rainbows for them.
So, maybe Sonic and Amy's relationship will be challenged, because maybe things won't end in a very triumphant way this time. So far Sonic doesn't seem to be very bothered by anything, maybe he'll fuck up big time, maybe that'll cost him his friends. Maybe that'll set up a sequel or a series that already mentioned a "journey of self-discovery and redemption".
