Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's philosophical confrontation with Drathro escalates from reasoned debate to a physical threat as Drathro detects intruders (Peri's group) in the castle. The Doctor's attempt to shut down the system (via the three-stage levers) becomes a desperate race against time, with Drathro's tyranny and the black light's collapse creating a perfect storm of danger."
