How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven Taylor's narrative arc from disoriented arrival to guilt-driven departure. In the first event, Steven staggers into the TARDIS, a stranger seeking help; in the second, he voluntarily leaves, tormented by his perceived failure to save Anne Chaplet."
