How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Johane’s fear of political consequences (the comet, prophecies, Bainham’s arrest) and her intimate concern for Cromwell’s safety in Episode 3 sets the stage for her continued presence as a witness to Cromwell’s vulnerability during Holbein’s probing about Anselma, where she silently observes his emotional exposure."

This continuity shows her maintaining proximity to Cromwell’s private life, tracking his psychological toll.
