Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both scenes center on Nyssa being "selected" or "determined" by others: first by the Vanir’s clinical criteria in Episode 15, and later by her own volition in Episode 16. This shows her progression from passive object of scrutiny to active subject of choice.
