Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection drives Steven's character arc from passive observer to active protector. His decision to act on overheard information in Episode 24 is a direct consequence of the urgent tension established in Episode 23. It also escalates the stakes from mere suspicion to immediate life-or-death action, creating a coherent trajectory for Steven.
