Summary:
The thing about flames was that they were beautiful, and could keep you warm. Humanity never would've survived without them, but they were also dangerous. Deadly, even. But just like moths, humans were often drawn to it. Fire was beautiful and powerful, it gave life, and allowed civilizations to thrive, but could wipe out entire cities if you weren't careful. Christine wasn't a poet in any sense of the word, but calling Nyota fire felt right. She thought it was an apt comparison.
