Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Troi’s experience of being 'violently thrown' by P2’s inner terror (Episode 13) parallels her empathic confrontation with Kyle, where she penetrates layered defenses. Both moments show Troi physically and emotionally absorbing others' pain to reach a truth."
