How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Bruchner’s concern about a disturbance in the hold (which he fears is someone present) escalates into the guard being rebuked for leaving his post at the Isolation Room. This shows the breakdown of security protocols under mounting paranoia and the increasing desperation to conceal the truth behind the Isolation Room’s occupant."
