Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The dead insects due to DN6 (cand_evt_scene_d3de69e22890396d_01) echo the environmental decay seen earlier (cand_evt_scene_4407d2fddde080ec_01), while the laboratory bench reveals the man-made cause (DN6), reinforcing the theme of environmental peril.
