Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both scenes feature betrayals that escalate conflicts: Nyder's betrayal of Kravos to the Daleks for personal gain, and Kellman's betrayal of the crew to the Cybermen for ideological alignment. Thematically parallel acts of treachery within factions drive larger conflicts toward violent confrontations."
