Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Weng-Chiang’s dismissal of Li H’sen immediately precedes his being interrupted during packing, showing a pattern: he discards servants when they outlive utility, and this betrayal cycle isolates him — a direct cause of his later frantic packing and exposure during the performance."
