Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's transformation from kind healer in Episode 2 to a 'hollow, unresponsive shell' in Episode 3 mirrors the fate of the Savages he tried to save. The Doctor's state becomes a physical manifestation of the City's oppressive extraction system."
