Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Habris' unscheduled selection of Adric in Episode 14 (cand_evt_scene_b7f7047eaed5cda5_02) directly causes Ivo's grief and desperation in Episode 15 (cand_evt_scene_2682d4a8e512ca39_01), as it reveals the Tower's arbitrary cruelty and fuels Ivo's desire to act against them."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Habris' raid and the seizure of Adric in Episode 14 demonstrate the Tower's oppressive tactics, which escalate Ivo's personal loss (his son's death) into a broader rebellion. Ivo's grief and desperation in Episode 15 are a direct consequence of the Tower's ongoing oppression, which is exemplified by Adric's seizure.
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.
