The father who couldn't get home due to the strike.

The Sonic PICT artwork made for White Day 2020 depicts Tails buying a variety of mint candies in a store in Station Square. One of the patrons in the background is a human man, who, according to the artwork's notes, is intended to be a specific NPC from Sonic Adventure (1998), that being the father who couldn't return home to his daughter due to the train workers going on strike.

The book SONIC THE HEDGEHOG - Life in Sonic's World, which collects and details each Sonic PICT piece released up until June 2021, specifies that he's buying a gift for his daughter to apologize for worrying her.
