Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry is visibly moved by Cromwell's letter, then asks to hear the part which Cromwell says that he'd make him love forever. Rafe senses a glimmer of hope, but Henry dismisses him, signaling the end of any chance for Cromwell's reprieve. Henry asks for the letter's content, then is unmoved. He uses the same tool as Cromwell: empty gestures."
