Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s resolve to face danger directly, first in the city passages then in the Savage valley, illustrates his transformation from a visitor observing a crisis to a protagonist actively fighting oppression. This reflects his evolving belief in confronting (not submitting to) tyranny.
