Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Guards' role evolves from passive enforcers in confined spaces (hiding from shrivenzale) to active armed threats (firing upon the Doctor's group). This marks a clear escalation in their agency and the stakes of their obedience.
