Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Hur’s position as intermediary—a function of her loyalty to Za—carries into Episode 3 where she functions as a bridge between the travelers and Za. This callback underscores her narrative role as a mediator navigating power struggles and survival.
