-Based immidietly after Season 7- 'Imagine a deer and a fox. The fox has all and every advantage to kill the deer. So why wouldn't it?' 'Because there's a threat going to hurt its cubs. The Fox would rather save its cubs, the things it loves most, than to kill the deer.' 'But that threat threatening the cubs will kill the fox.' 'Does the fox really love the cubs then?' -Acronix and Ignis
