  فَتَدَبَّرْتُ — so I reflected. This fuses the sequencing 'so/then' onto a past-tense verb that already holds its 'I' subject in its tail. The prefix marks this as the next step in a chain of actions: 'so then I reflected'.

  تَدَبَّرْتُ — I reflected. A past-tense verb carrying its subject inside it: the -tu tail is the 'I' doer, so no separate pronoun is needed.
