Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Valeyard's assertion that the Doctor is indirectly responsible for the deaths on Thoros Beta (Act 3) mirrors Frax's revelation of the Mentors' premature aging as a deliberate experiment. Both instances frame systemic forces (the Valeyard's trial, the Mentors' actions) as unstoppable engines of destruction."
