Tyson speaks next, probably thinking out loud, as he's mostly rambling, "If Olivia is a descendant of Pandora, and the latter was the one who sealed Ophyr in the Dybbux box, it could be that he is afraid Olivia will imprison him again. She is in more danger than I originally thought."

I never asked Francesca or Reid about him because I was afraid that if I did that, he'd come to take me back to Ladybug. For the first time in my life, I had a family. Brothers and a sister, friends too. Reid and Francesca were keeping me safe. I didn't want to be the Guardian. I was going to public school, and truth be told, I was having a blast." He did?
