Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Eirak's order to recover Bor's body (in Episode 14) directly sets Bor's downward spiral into the Forbidden Zone and radiation poisoning (Episode 15), linking the station's ruthless hierarchy to Bor's physical and mental deterioration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Eirak's demand to retrieve Bor's body forces Bor to venture into the Forbidden Zone, where contamination by the unstable engine core drives his eventual collapse and supernatural abduction by the Garm. This establishes a direct causal chain from Episode 14's ethical void to Episode 15's physical and cosmic reckoning.
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.
