Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master’s exposure of the High Council’s willingness to destroy a planet (Earth/Ravalox) to hide secrets parallels the Valeyard’s attempt to erase the Doctor’s future regenerations—both acts involve sacrificing life for the preservation of power and secrets. This underscores the story’s critique of institutional corruption and moral decay among Time Lords."
