Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Endar's denial of abuse despite evidence ('Your tests') parallels the crew's denial of evidence regarding Quaice's existence and the vanished crew, both reflecting systemic denial of reality in the face of contradictory facts."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
