Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery that Terminus is at the exact center of the known universe directly informs his later observation about being 'at the centre of the universe' when he and Kari enter Terminus. This realization drives the narrative focus toward Terminus's sinister, central role in the story."
