Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarjenka’s emotional vulnerability—whispering why she waited alone—mirror's Data’s silent, mechanical departure at the end. She reaches out to comfort him as a child; he, in turn, removes himself like a ghost. Their interaction is one of unspoken sorrow: she feels, he remembers, and both are left alone."
