A hedgehog manufactured by the company Steiff.
I found it at a Steiff boutique inside the New Chitose Airport where I stopped by on the occasion of going to a manga and anime festival in Lake Toya.
It was lonesome in a showcase. Strangely enough, that day was June 23, Sonic’s birthday. It might be fate, mightn’t it?
