Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's Faustian bargain ('submit to control and restore your companions') in Episode 10 is recalled by the Man's warning in Episode 11 about a company that imprisons dissenters unless they 'go over to the company,' echoing the same coercive logic."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces the thematic continuity: the Master's psychological manipulation is realized as a systemic, technological form of control by International Electromatics, showing the escalation from personal to institutional tyranny.
