Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's explicit justification for using numismaton gas to save Malkon—despite Timanov’s objections—unveils the gas’s regenerative power, which the Master immediately exploits for his own regeneration agenda. This directly foreshadows the Master’s later 'supreme renewal' plan."
