I think it’s important to know, there’s an older picture of David signing stuff, with his father-in-law WHO WAS THE FIFTH DOCTOR, holding a very similar sign behind David’s back. I don’t have the pic, but you can probably find it if you look a bit.
The thing about fairy tales is that we never know which one we’re in. Disobeying her husband’s request destroys everything in “Cupid and Psyche” variants, but it saves the woman’s life in “Bluebeard”. In Andersen’s “The Wild Swans”, the archbishop’s investigation of Eliza leads him to wrongly condemn her for magic–yet if someone had done the same to Eliza’s stepmother, they could have stopped her before the princes were turned into swans. These characters are doing what they deem best on limited information, and sometimes they’re right and sometimes they’re wrong, but the important thing is that they bravely face the consequences.
