Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This shows Azmael's trajectory from a broken enforcer (obediently regenerating) to a desperate actor taking initiative, marking a turning point in his subordination. The physical decay (flickering circuits) motivates his reckless actions, culminating in his public confrontation with Mestor's authority.
