Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Arnold’s voluntary leadership in a suicidal mission (cand_evt_scene_d1889ca73356de37_01) contrasts with Evans’ irrational outburst and rifle-waving in Episode 27 (cand_evt_scene_559b95942ee4d067_01). Both reflect soldiers pushed to mental extremes by the Intelligence’s war, but where Arnold succeeds, Evans fails.
