Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Varlik shifts from detached observer to enforcer of Ranquin’s will. This thread carries his character arc across episodes: from skepticism to militant fealty, and finally to enforcing group discipline under heightened threat — showing his internal justification of violence in the name of faith.
