"Judson's single-minded pursuit of translating the runes in Part 2 (using the Ultima machine) continues into Part 3 where he remains an observant but silent participant in the ritual debate."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Judson's trajectory from technical solver (decrypting runes) to moral arbiter (questioning the ritual's ethics). The continuity of his role as a technical expert bridges his transition from Fenric's studious servant to potential antagonist against its misuse.
