Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Glitz’s cryptic note about ‘The Fantasy Factory’—a clue left during their harrowing chase—directly leads them to the Valeyard’s bureaucratic lair. This connects the surreal danger of the Matrix environment to the absurdly controlled, dehumanizing space of the Fantasy Factory, completing the Valeyard’s trap."
