Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The confirmed black light system failure in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_78ac86c535bc6575_1) causes — or at least makes inevitable — the black light explosion that erases Drathro in Episode 4 (cand_evt_scene_6bb849c3f2a591da_3)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The malfunction detected in Episode 3 is directly linked to the final explosion in Episode 4. The breakdown of Drathro’s foundational technology, once confirmed, leads inevitably to its catastrophic culmination. This forms a causal chain central to the technological-conflict arc.
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.
