Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Alydon’s rejection of pacifism in Episode 9 establishes a moral shift that Thal characters (like Ganatus) must now navigate. Antodus’s betrayal attempts in Episode 10 are a direct result of the cognitive dissonance created by this shift—he cannot reconcile the new reality with old values."
