Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hilio's resistance to trusting outsiders (Episode 20) is overcome when he entrusts the Isop-tope—critical for targeting the Animus's 'dark side'—which he then explicitly references in Episode 21 ('remember its function: to target the Animus's dark side').
