Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s departure from Peladon brackets events temporally before his arrival at Metebelis’s Crystal Cave, creating a cause-and-effect gap: his exposure of Eckersley’s betrayal and tactical success (Peladon) conditions his later arrival burdened by the retrieved crystal and distrust in K’Anpo’s counsel."
