Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo questions the Monoid statue in `beat_c191bfbd6fba995b`, leading to the realization that 700 years have passed since they left. This establishes the premise for _why_ the Doctor, Steven, and Dodo are strangers in a changed world, which informs Venussa's amazement at seeing the Doctor in `beat_f01b79d828ebc9f8` and confirming the legends are true."
