Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Federico's urgency to eliminate Giuliano (`cand_evt_scene_b0eec36e03af7e15_1`) stems from his belief that Giuliano's growing influence threatens his coup. This urgency manifests in the raid on Giuliano's chamber in Episode 3 (`cand_evt_scene_e24e6539ec7436f4_1`), where Marco is targeted as a critical ally.
