Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events pivot on Torvin asserting authority and Romana outmaneuvering him. The escalation is clear: from humiliating defeat to a full-scale, life-threatening response against Adrasta. This reflects a broader narrative escalation in Torvin's character: from mere bandit leader to someone willing to risk everything for dominance.
