How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events depict Gefängnis-like authority figures (Mailer in Ep9, Brigadier in Ep10) dismissing the Doctor's appeals to morality in favor of strategic or military pragmatism, revealing a systemic failure to appreciate Barnham's true nature."
