Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Prozorov's shift from military aggressor (Episode 8) to helpless victim (Episode 9) mirrors the girls' transformation from teasing evacuees to predatory vampires. His death is framed as a direct consequence of their earlier defiance and the artifact's influence.
