Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lexa’s sacrificial death to save Romana (Act 1) is mirrored thematically in Romana’s later mourning (Act 3), and by Romana’s impending separation (summons to Gallifrey). The emotional weight of loss and duty echoes across acts, reinforcing sacrifice, leadership, and consequence."
