How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 106, Rafe sits silently behind Cromwell during the interrogation of Mark Smeaton, observing Cromwell's psychological manipulation. In Episode 201, Rafe silently observes Henry VIII's grooming ritual, now serving the King directly with the same watchful, calculating presence."
