Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The evacuation plan sets up the monastery as a symbolic 'nest' that will be destroyed (as he says: 'When the wind destroys the nest, so the bird will build another'), and his remaining behind to 'the end' fulfills that prophecy literally.
