like yeah the average 8 year old would be pretty spooked if he walked to the park and all the birds were fucking gutted but tails ain't a normal kid

this little man is a science first kinda guy and you gotta imagine what he'd be thinking

like

there's no way an ANIMAL could be doing this shit

and nobody on this unnamed planet could possibly care enough to do all this

for all he knows there's some oddball going around attacking woodland critters for some reason

if he could follow the blood trail to the fucker responsible he could stop this from happening again

and boom, now you have a motive for tails to be willingly walking himself into inevitable blue death
