Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Marriner's existential need for Tegan ('I am empty without you') and Turlough's final rejection of the Black Guardian's temptation ('I never wanted the agreement') both revolve around the theme of false or true reliance on others. Marriner's need is parasitic; Turlough's choice is liberating—both crystallizing the costs of 'Enlightenment' as a path versus a moral test."
