Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's arrival on Manussa is directly tied to her past experience with the Mara on the Kinda world. The Doctor's realization that Manussa is the Sumaran Empire's homeworld (a former domain of the Mara) connects Tegan's presence and nightmares to her unresolved trauma, foreshadowing the entity's resurgence."
