Linri(?) searched through the bits and pieces of the memories in his mind, but he couldn't make any sense of them. They were either too fragmented or too blurry, but at least right now he had a clue as to who he was. So the question was… how did he get back his memories? From getting powers from the wolf, but why? Did this wolf have some sort of connection to himself? Probably it did, but the question was why didn't it recognize him? Maybe even the wolf didn't know it had a connection with him.
Then there comes the second question. If the wolf was somehow connected to his missing memories, what about the fox? Did it also have some connection to his missing identity? Without meeting it, he couldn't answer that question for sure. He needed to meet with it first and possibly trick it to share its power with him, just like the wolf over here.
