Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's inquiry about Peri's fate in the trial room (where he learns she is not dead) contrasts with the Inquisitor's later explanation of her death. This creates a causal link where the Valeyard's misleading statement about Peri's survival sets up the tragic revelation of her ultimate fate."
