Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Mara's Faustian bargain with Aris in Episode 10 manifests physically as Aris gains speech (a taboo for Kinda males) and asserts dominance in Episode 11. This connects Tegan's involuntary possession to the larger cultural and narrative consequences.
