Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wesley's paralysis over his inadequacy in the corridor leads directly to his untenable emotional state in Ten-Forward, where Riker’s lesson—'command is decisive action, not perfection'—is the necessary pivot point for his later command of the Ico-spectrogram. His arc is defined by this transition from fear to resolve."
