Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's clarification that 'Enlightenment' was the moral choice (Turlough's act) rather than the diamond itself callbacks to Wrack's initial description of Enlightenment as ultimate power and knowledge. It reframes the concept as a spiritual or ethical achievement, not a tangible prize—a direct contradiction of Wrack's (and the Black Guardian's) materialist corruption."
