[X] Honey for the next coming many days tries to nurse you back to health, you blacking in and out of consciousness.
[X] Perhaps you want to take some time off to heal?
-[X] Yes. I'll take 13 days to heal.
[X] Ok, no monkey business here. It's clear that the guy was some kind of gatekeeper, so do what you do best: kick his ass. After the fight with Silver You, anything that he throws at you will be cheap in comparison.
[X] "Ok, mission of the day: do not get myself killed," you pause. "Again. Seriously, that's getting annoying."
-[X] "Alright, so no mechanical imitations, good news," you crack your neck. "Let's do this."
-[X] "Hey, dude! Monkey see, monkey do!"

During sometime in-between the incoming 2 weeks of healing...
Despite the days blurring, you can't say this isn't a good experience. Someone to just talk to anytime you want? It's a dream come true for you.
You can only feel the world get bigger as you go along. Learning something new day after day. Facts sprouting which you latch onto with all your might.
Another sector of South Island, of which you need to pass through the mountain to get to, involving some of those places that Honey has mentioned she travelled to before. Like Yellow Desert or Meta Junglira.
An island of these bird-like creatures, called Flickies' Island. A mysterious place where giant rings, just like the ones that take you to that spinning world, seemingly make people disappear. Never to be seen again.
The favourite sport, Honey caught you up on what that meant, around here being Kart racing. Where people have fun competing on who can be the fastest, something about that resonates with you. All spread out on multiple small islands dedicated to it.
Mutations. It's something that some people are born with. It can vary between obvious ones that you could see from a glance, like an extra limb or some other physical oddity. Or it can be something that can't be easily seen unless actively done, like with how fast you run.
No matter how much Honey tries to explain it to you, you can't exactly get what a second or a minute or an hour is. She just keeps saying *tick* *tick* tick* like it means something!
Every day is a new oddity for you to find out, and a chance to learn more about the girl you've been stuck with for... Gosh, how many days has it been since you met her? Too many to count by now.
She has a family of her own. A mother, a father, grandparents and grandmothers, two younger brothers, some cousins here and there. It genuinely shocks you how big a family can get.
...what would have life been like if you had one?
You shake your head as you try to ignore that thought.
She had just recently she turned 16, apparently that has some kind of significance as due to that she started taking her own initiative in making a business? Well, tried to is the word, considering that Eggman pulled up not too long after.
She calls it Honey Brand Clothes And Accessories, and the label Honey Clothing. Whatever the heck is the difference between those two things completely goes over your head. Something about intellectual property?
Being cooped up in here is kinda giving you too much time to think. Damn that Faker, you could be out right now experiencing all that stuff first-hand.
"Yo, you good? Want some?" You see Honey come into the building, having seemingly grabbed some berries outside to feed the both of you.
"Might as well!" You pick one between your fingers and flick it towards your mouth.
"...we really have to work on a name for you." Honey says, out of the blue.
"Huh?" You question. "What brought this on?"
She quirks up an eyebrow. "You mean other than the fact it gets a bit embarrassing just calling you Hero all the time?" What could be embarrassing about that? You are a hero! "And no, it's not because you don't fit the role, you certainly do."
Honey twiddles her thumbs together, looking off somewhere else. "So..." You try to lead her to answering the question you asked.
She sighs. "Dude, after all this time, I consider you my friend okay? I can't just keep calling you by some moniker as if we're strangers can I?" A blush forms on her face as she says the word friend. "Got anything I could workshop with? Characteristics that define you that I could find other meanings for that which sound more like an actual name?"
You can only sit there in a bit of a shock. Friend. Something that you only ever called those of Green Hill Zone.
[x] "A name, huh..." you stop to think. "I don't think Hero will do, right? I mean, 'The Hero, Hero the Hedgehog' sounds a bit of a mouthful."
-[x] "Hm...let's see. I'm fast, awesome and blue. We have lots to work here, huh? But it may be a bit on the nose..."
-[x] You stare at Honey. "You are not secretly a bee, are you?"
-[x] "Hm...one time I passed through some Mobians going through Green Hill Zone so fast that they thought it was only a sound of one of the animals. Does that count for anything?"
[x] "A name, huh..." you stop to think. "I don't think Hero will do, right? I mean, 'The Hero, Hero the Hedgehog' sounds a bit of a mouthful."

I found out Spooderman is canon. Which means Sanic is probably canon somewhere too
[x] "A name, huh..." you stop to think. "I don't think Hero will do, right? I mean, 'The Hero, Hero the Hedgehog' sounds a bit of a mouthful."

You snap out of your funk, focusing on the name thing for now. "A name, huh... I don't think Hero will do, right? I mean, 'The Hero, Hero the Hedgehog' sounds like a bit of a mouthful."
"And not because it sounds egotistical?" She teases back at you.
You ignore that comment. "Hm... Let's see. I'm fast, awesome and blue. We have lots to work here, huh? But it may be a bit on the nose
"I dunno about that, Blue doesn't sound too bad of a name. Though I get wanting something that'd feel more unique."
You stare at Honey as she says that. "You... Are not secretly a bee, are you?"
"...oh, so looking for a way to insult my own name nyeh? I'll have you know it was picked out for how sweet a girl I am!" She huffs as she crosses her arms.
You put your hands up in a mild bit of apology to that. "Alright! Alright! I get it!" Though, to get back in topic... ""Hm... One time I passed through some Mobians whilst going through Green Hill Zone so fast that they thought it was only a sound of one of the animals. Does that count for anything?"
She taps her cheek at that. "Uh... Speed? Acceleration?" She furrows her brows until her eyes brighten up. And with a click of her fingers-
[X] "Sonic..." you say slowly.
-[X] "He's the fastest thing alive," you sing, not knowing from where you took that music. "Yeah, I like it!"
-[X] "Watch out, Eggman! The Hero of Green Hill, Sonic the Hedgehog, is coming to kick ass and put a show to never forget!" you wince in pain. "Well, once I get patched up."
[X] "Sonic..." you say slowly.
