with the origin eps, it really doesn’t make sense why.. they’re constantly looking for Aleena, especially when aleena is making herself scarce, and purposely well. not showing herself. so I find it odd that the (wow I nearly said turtles, lol tmnt brain) hedgehogs have a lot of episodes where the main focus is looking for aleena or hoping to meet her. I know the theme song and what it says, but thinking from in verse — like from, the whole how aleena is never showing herself to them, how oracle is like (I wonder if they know the whole thing; I need to rewatch to make sure), it doesn’t make sense why sonic Sonia and manic are looking for their mother like that.
but I think it’s interesting to think of. like perhaps they know, but depending on much they know, and how aleena in the theme song is like she wants to reunite with them but doesn’t know if it’s the time. and if hedgehogs also know this, maybe they think that while they’re going their freedom fighters thing and fighting robotnik and his factories — they can look out for their mother, and hope to reunite with her. the oracle stuff never said exact time. as per theme song. they’re really just leaving up to fate
another thing that’s interesting is how they’re pursing her (admittedly not, from what I’ve seen, persistent but like hoping and hearing if she’s around, going to the place to see her) but still there’s aleena who could even just say something to them, but doesn’t each time! and interesting how we don’t see (so far) the hedgehogs holding any kind of resentment for that. maybe they do. But I just find that really interesting.
there’s also the matter of how all of their other parents / relatives got taken away :/ to robotize which is so !!!! to me. and how Queen aleena is the parent they have, so maybe they wanna like stay together, and fight the fight like that. maybe diff reasons you can think about…
