Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Hieronymous's shift from being oppressed by Federico's power (Part 2) to retaliating through psychological manipulation (Part 3). His warnings about a 'blow' against Federico are a direct response to his subjugation, showing how power dynamics evolve across episodes.
