Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation mirrors Preston’s own shift from operational precision to direct confrontation (Tegan ambush → firing on Myrka). The systemic fragility established in E1 drives reckless action in E2, with Preston fully complicit as enforcer.
