A mirror maze, very similar to the areas that hold Chaos Emeralds.
Sonic can see his reflection everywhere, until light can't transfer through the mirrors, leaving them an illusion of an empty hall.

Can't run here or else you slam your face into a mirror.
Follow the trail of rings.
It's not here.

Laughing, humming, it's not easy to tell what it's doing.

However, no matter how fast Sonic can run, X seems to perfectly rubberband. Slowly gaining on him.

It doesn't slow down, it doesn't gain speed. Only gaining on him half an inch every second.

This is unusual.

Despite the peacefulness, the hedgehog stays on guard for what could be coming.
Looking back reveals those familiar eyes from behind's darkness.
Whatever he seems to be running through is disappearing right behind him.
Just keep moving.
