Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Riker reduces Kyle’s trauma to 'career ambition' — the same defense he’s used since childhood — showing his inability to see his father as a wounded man, not a rejector. This moment crystallizes his emotional stagnation, yet it’s precisely this misperception that Pulaski will later dismantle."
