The Donut Lord may be in danger

Tom has been the human lead in all these movies, and given the clear themes of overcoming grief that this third film is toying with, it would be thematically appropriate for Sonic’s emotional center to be in some danger this time around. We see a brief shot of Marsden’s character shouting to Sonic as Shadow is wreaking havoc. Could we see an actual major death in Sonic the Hedgehog 3?
