The narrative assertion
"The Doctor tending to Nyssa and Tegan after they are stunned (Act 3) is directly followed by the emergence of Anithon—a moment of cosmic continuity. The companions’ recovery enables the Doctor to witness the Xeraphin’s rebirth, linking human vulnerability to cosmic revelation."
