Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Megara’s denial of the Doctor’s right to legal subtlety (beat_46c21a56170bd4b2) parallels their final, rigid judgment against Cessair (Vivien) in absentia (beat_e15a1d1ea0d518a7): they have the truth but cannot see it until forced. Both moments illustrate the Megara’s blindness to moral nuance, operating only on procedural or later, revealed evidence."
