Sonic let Lara go first - not something he'd normally do, but she could look at all the weird stuff while he kept an eye out for anything with a bad attitude that might be hanging around. It worked.
"Yeah, that is weird," he agreed. "Why wouldn't you just get a whole new door?" It didn't make a whole lot of sense to him...and then Lara pointed out the marks in the floor. "Whoa," Sonic breathed. He'd seen marks kinda like this before, but those were all from gigantic machines Robotnik had built. Whatever had made these marks in the floor was huge.
"I can try," he replied, "but if whatever made those-" he pointed to the marks "-is in there-" he pointed to the door "-then I'm thinkin' maybe I shouldn't." Normally he wouldn't back down from this sort of thing, but he had one ring, no emeralds, no idea where he was or what was behind that door, and Lara to protect if things went wrong. Today was not the day to do this. Tomorrow, maybe.
