Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both Luvic and Kassia are Consuls whose institutional loyalty binds them to power structures beyond their comprehension. Kassia's corruption by Melkur in Episode 23 mirrors Luvic's unwitting role in stabilizing the corruption's aftermath in Episode 24, highlighting the theme of bureaucratic entrapment.
