This is, of course, the key to the whole reason for the Byron
thing. If it had not gone on as long as it had, had not had the impact
it had on her, she would not be where she is now in the storyline. You
really needed something *major* to bring her to this point, and that
was it. Some couldn't figure why the emphasis...well, now they know.

Everything points somewhere.

If you saw the arrows initially, then they would have been 'way
too obvious.

And yeah, the wheel of fire visually has spokes proceeding out
from a central flame; the center burns outward. And several of the
fires smoldering lately have done that; with Byron it was a literal
flame that has now gone out along the spokes and had substantial
repercussions, with more to come years down the road.

It's also a Shakespeare quote, "I am bound upon a wheel of fire,
that mine own tears do scald like molten lead." Which tends to
describe Londo's situation as well. (King Lear)
