Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both beats highlight Romana's deep reluctance to return to Gallifrey, framed initially as general dread of confinement and later as a more personal philosophical conflict. Romana's initial reluctance is abstract ('end of her adventures beyond Gallifrey'), while her confrontation in her room reflects a deeper existential tension about the Time Lords and rebellion."
