Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of institutional violence as 'preservation' is consistent across episodes. The Zaphra gas order in Episode 28 foreshadows Lobos' panicked executions in Episode 29, both framed as justified by societal order despite their moral indefensibility.
