English term or phrase: Go down the rabbit hole
Could you please help me find a nice translation for "go down the rabbit hole" in this context?

Sometimes we create this unspoken bond with people, that only exists in our heads. They don't owe me their discretion. I just assumed it was there. So we're not going to go down a rabbit hole, trying to figure out why they did that. It doesn't matter. They did it.
