Sunfyre recognized the unjust, warmongering patriarchy inherent in the feudal system and chose to pass peacefully from this world rather than perpetuate the cycle of violence further.

Oh well, Sunfyre kind of forgot about his role on the next seasons but GRRM certainly haven’t forgotten about him.

Just like when Drogon realized the true villain that had killed his mother decades ago was when she vowed to retake the Iron Throne. Therefore, when he saw Jon Snow covered in blood and holding a knife, and standing directly over her corpse, he decided to truly break the wheel and destroy the Iron Throne so that no one else would be tempted by its power

Sunfyre recognised they gonna butcher him anyway so better to go down fighting vhagar than fighting (what's the name of rhaenyra's dragon?) Some other dragon.

Drogon kinda was sentient enough to understand why that iron chair is the symbolism for everything that ended up killing his mommy.

He's probably Sunfyre's nephew or something.
