"I think found family is so huge for so many people, right? I think a lot of us struggle with finding where we belong, and what we're meant to do in life, and I think Stone's kind of there. There was something in the first movie where Robotnik talks about being an orphan. And I was like, oh, what if - and this was for me, we never discussed it - but I was like, what if Stone's an orphan? [...] or had to leave home, or whatever? And so that's kind of the first little thing in common that they have. And I think that relationship is huge to Stone. I think maybe Ivo's the only one that really sees him, in a sense."
