*** It stopped Knuckles from throwing a punch mid-swing with a memory that the reader never actually gets to see.
*** It stopped Chaos from attacking Sylphic, likely with a memory such as the ones involving the flashbacks from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure''.
*** It tries to incapacitate Shadow by [[spoiler: calling forth Maria and superimposing her likeness over Sylphic like an emotional shield]] but he punches straight through because he knows it isn't real.
*** It has a mind of its own, capable of causing episodes even without physical contact or direct invocation, as evidenced by Bastette having to get rid of it or Brine directly telling her that it gives him nightmares.

to:
**** It's twisted enough to forcefully give Bastette the more feminine appearance she yearns for without painkillers or anesthetic, which also doubles as BodyHorror.
**** It, [[spoiler: like the other eyes]], is sentient and houses a spirit named Aria. What this entity's plans are is currently unknown, but given their ability to erase people by crystalizing and shattering them, world domination might play a part.
***The Wisher's Garnet, which turns out to not be one of the eight sisters that comprise Luneria, but rather [[spoiler: Akshi's little sister, Sonata.]] The entity housed inside reveals the truth that the music-based names of "Aria" and "Concerto" and "Requiem" aren't the names of those respective gems' spirits, but the name of the spirits' victims whose power they took.
****The Wisher's Garnet's powers act on necessity and need, but often work in a roundabout manner or very literally, as evidenced when Rouge uses it to "change Shadow's mind" and ends up bodyswapping him and Sonic.
****The Garnet is the first instance of a gem that we see get broken and then fully repaired in the end.
***Doom's Paragon, a diamond that houses the Lunerian sister named "Concerto". Equally as nasty as her sister, Aria, Concerto feeds off of trauma and spite.
****It's later explained that Concerto chose the Black Arms race due to their resilience and ability to works with Chaos forces, and situated herself inside her host, Black Doom. It's also implied that Black Doom was merely a facade or a persona, meaning that the host who existed long ago is probably dead.
**** She's also capable of lying dormant for decades within a host and even manipulating other host bodies while sequestered away elsewhere, as evidenced by where she's found hiding in the climax.
***The Phantom Ruby is considered an Eye in this AU, as its powers deal with YourMindMakesItReal, which covers all eyes. The one Zero has in ''Thy Vengeful Asymmetry'' is a prototype, just as it was in the games.
**** Nyx said that she threw it into another dimension in a previous life. This is the first indication that Nyx isn't always nice to everybody.

*** Concerto was never a physical entity, instead opting to psychologically manipulate Blue through hallucinations all while hiding in the one place nobody would dare look: [[spoiler: ''embedded in Shadow's skull''.]]

**''Fears of the Future'' uses a Chekov's Gun that was set up in ''From the Heart'', specifically the half-awake babbling Sylphic did after Shadow punched through his illusion. [[spoiler: He said that Maria's blood type was O, and when he recalls this he gets a confirmation from the Echo Sapphire through a flash memory that Gerald's method of treatment of blood transfusions.]] Why is that important? Well, we learn that [[spoiler: Maria was O-, a universal donor but not receiver. Therefore, to get working transfusions, Shadow's blood needed to match. But more importantly, that means that ''Shadow'' is a universal donor who can save Briar.]]
***The Glowing Eye on [[spoiler: Nyx's]] forehead turns out to be a sign that she is in fact [[spoiler: one of the eight parts of Luneria.]]
**''Outside Looking In'' has Sonic and Shadow switch places. A few times throughout the narrative Shadow comments about how much more exposed and vulnerable he feels, and he's [[spoiler: stabbed through the chest in the climax when he's the most vulnerable he's ever been- right in Blue's arms after learning the truth.]]
****Not helped is that Sylphic gave Shadow painkillers on the way up to the ARK, ones that are anticoagulants. Sylphic sees it as more serious of a [[spoiler: fatal injury]] than the others because of this.
***Cross-part Chekov is back, and this time it's because Akshi picked up the one chipped piece of Rouge in the Dreamscape at the end of ''Fears of the Future'', allowing him access to her "island" of dreams when she's asleep in ''Outside Looking In''.

**Subverted later in Part 3 when she loses about half the ponytail, where she openly implies that she's learned that her femininity is more than that.
**Outside Looking In introduces the mysterious character of Blue the Darkling. She's an amnesiac ful-bloodied Black Arms Super Soldier, and when she finally recovers her memory, we learn that [[spoiler: Maria's blood transfusions linked her to the Black Arms Hivemind and her consciousness got taken by them right before she could pass away.
