Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The shared focus on the ventilation shaft in both episodes serves as a practical continuation of Bulic’s observational skills and problem-solving under pressure. In Episode 3, he identifies the shaft as a potential lifeline; in Episode 4, this observation is activated as a critical route for infiltration and escape, binding the episodes thematically and narratively.
