Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Maaga's ultimatum to the Doctor ('Either the Rills die or we do') in Episode 2 is recalled when the Drahvin soldier fires on a Chumbley in Episode 3, demonstrating the continuing refusal to believe in peace."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection uses Maaga's framing of the conflict to show how her violent ideology has infected her followers. The soldier's immediate violence reflects the same binary thinking ('kill or be killed') that Maaga espoused.
