Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Crozier's determination to save Kiv after his cardiac arrest (Act 3) inadvertently contributes to the Doctor's absence from the resistance fighters during the ambush, as he is tied up handling the medical crisis. This absence removes a potential protector from Peri and Yrcanos' final confrontation."
