Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hayter's fatal approach to the Xeraphin sarcophagus (Act 3) is a direct consequence of his earlier scientific curiosity and disregard for the Doctor’s warning. His absorption into the Xeraphin—transformed into a Plasmaton—completes his arc from skepticism to tragic surrender."
