Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The stakes escalate from galactic invasion to civilizational destruction. Seth’s experience shifts from guiding Anethans into tribute—accepting loss as policy—to shooting a deserter king to halt annihilation. The continuity binds Seth’s burdens: whether paying tribute or taking lives, the cost is measured in Anethan bodies and shattered trust.
