Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Thous’ growing skepticism of Zaroff in Episode 21 is directly foreshadowed by Ramo’s early distrust from Episode 20. Zaroff’s claim that he alone can restore Atlantis becomes increasingly untenable, escalating from suspicion to open rivalry with authority figures."
