Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Marshal's refusal to retreat despite losses (cand_evt_scene_45b62ceaff199897_2) directly leads to his climactic but delusional assault declaration (cand_evt_scene_95d7ea37dafa67b8_1) in Episode 23. Each action represents a further step toward self-destruction under the illusion of victory.
