In my headcannon, her return in Gen 58protecting involves her errors haunting her including g when she sees consequences such as Opaline’s near-term and Grogar’s return.

Indeed. She did so coz….. When she mighta out effort in trusting outsiders such as Capper and Zecora…. When she mighta support the buccaneers….. When she mighta refrain from doing the Marer Do Well and Walking Dead hoaxes,…. When she mighta been nicer to Trixie and Dyscord…… When she mighta avoid the parasprites and the hydra by believing in Pinkie…… When she mighta paid more attention to Flurry…… When she mighta refrain by robbing Novo……. when she mighta gone to Moondancer’s party….!!! When she mighta consider the consequences….. She only thought of her own ego. Beings conceited as our Storm King.
