Because in every episode we're going on a trip in his favorite rocket ship... Black holes bend space, time, matter... and imagination.

Somewhere, a Yaoi Fangirl is writing Maxhofer slash.
Because Fraunhofer looked just so sweet in Prince Maximillian's arms and when has reality ever stopped the fangirls anyway?- They made young Fraunhofer very cute in that episode, presumably so he'd make a better Woobie.
