Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Examiner's death and the Doctor's subsequent impersonation directly causes Hensell to question his arrival and his intentions. His death DIRECTLY caused Hensell to arrive at the guest quarters to question the Doctor. This is also CHARACTER CONTINUITY because Hensell is suspicious."
