Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Noma's trajectory as Mestor's enforcer who enforces lethal directives without question. Her earlier failure in Episode 25 results in her intensified role in Episode 26, where she actively participates in the Doctor's capture, reinforcing her role as Mestor's brutal executor.
