Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tryst's manipulation by shifting blame to Della (Episode 14) mirrors the Eden environment's deceptive artificiality — both use surface-level narratives to obscure deeper truths, a parallel Romana navigates in both the physical and social realms."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Roman's exposure to manipulated realities (both the CET machine and the Eden projection) forces her to navigate deceptive systems. This builds her resilience and reinforces her role as a truth-seeker who resists manipulation.
