No one calls you Knuckles-san anymore? Perhaps they don't know Japanese...

[He shrugs lightly, still buzzing from happiness of seeing old friends again]

A lot has happened. Ah, we've had to evacuate Discedo because of a nuclear bomb that had gone off across the lake a-and, ah, I'm removing chips and taking care of most things at the hospital now...

It's been difficult but I'm glad to see you both again!!
