Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Cleaners dragging Tilda and Tabby to the Basement entity (cand_evt_scene_1ce60c61ad8a7e52_1) in Episode 7 directly leads to Kroagnon's declaration of extermination of all humans in Episode 8 (cand_evt_scene_0d6ae499f77bd38f_01)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Cleaners' actions in feeding victims to the Basement entity reveal Kroagnon's dormant power, which he later fully awakens to enact his genocidal purge. This causality ties the Cleaners' mechanical violence to Kroagnon's direct command.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
