Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Light's initial introduction in the Entrance Hall establishes his role as an alien surveyor, which directly leads to his eventual revelation of his genocidal plan in the Dinning Room. The Doctor's immediate interaction with Light sets up the conflict that culminates in Light's 'firestorm' protocol."
