Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 11, the fracture manifests as team tension and injury during excavation. In Episode 15, it escalates to lethal suppression of dissent by Clent, illustrating how systemic rigidity (computer-driven decisions, Clent’s self-preservation) fractures human relationships and endangers lives.
