Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Autloc’s revelation in E29 that Susan is to be punished before the eclipse ('before the sacrifice') escalates in E30 when Ian and Susan are framed for attacking Autloc and sentenced to immediate execution while Barbara is to be bound as a 'false goddess.' The punishment timing becomes lethal."
