Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Valeyard's prosecutorial tactics escalate from personal attacks ('bloodlust') to a systemic accusation ('genocide'), reflecting his growing desperation and the increasing stakes of the trial. This mirrors the escalation of the Vervoids' threat in the parallel narrative.
