Fans will often be curious or even obsess over tiny details and minutiae that the creators of whatever we are fan of never gave an explanation to, whether it was in-universe or out-of-universe, for any number of reasons.
As an example, I'm thinking of an interview with Mickael Okuda where a jour...
