Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Riker’s accusation — 'Why didn't I ever hear from you?' — triggers Kyle’s first true emotional entry into the story; this confrontation is the mirror of Troi’s later probing of Kyle. The same wound is opened twice: once son-to-father, once counselor-to-father — repeating the trauma to complete its resolution."
