Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian’s analytical caution from Morphoton (questioning why kindness is free) evolves into strategic deception in Episode 23, where he hides the fake key and claims to find the real one. This shows a moral flexibility driven by loyalty.
