Author commentary: Why exactly IS she doing this? Turns out enjoying random acts of destruction is a character trait. But we've also been sowing the foreshadowing seeds pertaining to frog death, for reasons as yet unknown. The reasons will become less unknown as we approach the end of Act 5. Also like most of these quick drive-by reveals in Hivebent, a huge amount of information is being conveyed without much explanation. We see the trolls have their own set of (blue) frog ruins, with only six planets in orbit. The ruins are underground, presumably in the same subterranean layer as the brooding caverns. Astute folks know this is apocalyspeArisen, because of the Aries sign. We see she has telekinesis, and seems to have no problem with acts of desecration. This is a lot to take in, and then without warning, we're looking at Eridan's silly shoes.
