Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polo's deferral of interrogation for hospitality ('Questions can wait until morning') mirrors his later demand for control ('guards will be told to notify me immediately'), showing his shift from reluctant guardian to authoritarian leader."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 14, Polo's hospitality is conditional (cand_evt_scene_d187d4f73aa64acf_04), while in Episode 15, his authority becomes more rigid as he asserts control over departures (cand_evt_scene_1c481c83c33dde71_02), symbolic of the group's escalating unrest.
