Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The immediate death of the soldier (transformed into a burnt wreck) by Mandragora Helix energy during a curfew evasion creates public chaos and draws attention to an unnatural threat. The Doctor, witnessing or learning of this, is compelled to issue a warning to Count Federico—a pivotal attempt at intervention."
