Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Ohica's growing awareness of the Sisterhood's crisis. In Episode 18, the flame's death directly results in the Sisters' horrified realization in Episode 19 that the Elixir is entirely gone, forcing Maren and Ohica to confront their institutional failure and desperation.
