Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier maternal vulnerability (Kathleen’s baby, Ace’s insecurity) re-emerges as Ace prioritizes Kathleen’s safety over obedience. This emotional continuity underscores Ace’s growth from skeptical companion to caring ally, binding her emotionally to the Dudman family as part of Fenric’s design.
