Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve characters (Castellan and Lon) defying or being manipulated by higher authorities (Time Lord High Council and Mara, respectively). The Castellan's distrust of institutional processes (Doctor's termination) mirrors Lon's deflection of the Mara's authority, both representing resistance to oppressive systems."
