The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's resolve to enter Drathro's castle alone (despite Merdeen's warnings) is reinforced by the news of Katryca's death. This combination of events cements the Doctor's belief that direct, high-stakes confrontation is necessary to avert catastrophe, driving his commitment to the mission."
