"Despite its widespread use and prevalence in society, humanity has yet to understand the origins or the implications of their involvement with Dust." It's this quote that I keep zero-ing in on. We don't know much about Dust or Grimm. And both vanish as soon as they're used up. And but come up out of the ground. And Grimm destroy things people create. Is it possible they are attacking them because of the Dust used to make these structures? Or maybe because dust is used to run the structures? The implication that Grimm die with locked up if they can't feed off negative emotions or act on their killing instincts vexes me too. I feel like they're programed. Like they're tools forced to follow a prime directive and if they don't the cease to exist.

Okay

1) We know enough to know that they're not remotely the same thing.

2) They were attacking and killing people before they were building things using Dust.

3) They were attacking and killing people before they were using Dust to run their buildings.

4) That implication doesn't exist. We saw a caged Boarbatusk in V1 that seemed perfectly hale and hearty until Weiss stabbed it.
