Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without Hrostar’s failed attempts at communication and his subsequent enslavement, he would lack the tactical insight and desperation needed to destroy the larvae gun. This causal chain highlights Hrostar’s transformation from a communicator to a saboteur.
