Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 2, Steven defies Edal to investigate a door because 'she’d go anywhere' (cand_evt_scene_e13270fcef6ff306_01). In Episode 3, he refuses to hide passively, choosing action (e.g., 'Let me see what’s going on') despite peril (cand_evt_scene_04a54f8e1c50a0da_01), representing a characterological consistency amid escalating stakes.
