I just recieved an email with the subject “Ivy The Kiwi? Heads Into Mother’s Day Without A Mom Or Home To Call Her Own.” I’m already sobbing.

The contents of the email are basically just this above picture, which gives some story background on Yuji Naka’s (Sonic the Hedgehog‘s creator) upcoming Wii and DS game, set to launch in 2010.

What was the point of this email? To make me cry? Take this part, for example. They tell you this after they tell you that Ivy can’t find her mother.

Ivy, frightened and alone, was unable to free herself from her shell. With pieces of egg still clinging to her body, Ivy could not use her wings.
