Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The tension around Victoria’s disappearance (which was a focus of the monks’ search) is directly escalated in Episode 10 by Khrisong’s murder, which disrupts the monks’ unity and forces them to confront an even greater threat. This shows the series’ escalation of stakes from a hunt to a murderous possession crisis.
