Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The submarine's sinking and hull breach in Ep 11 (33fb8d5cd17cf6c2_2) directly cause its immobile state in Ep 12 (cand_evt_scene_d5b49bc34c31e2d2_1), leaving it defenseless against the Sea Devil's sudden attack."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection explains the submarine's compromised state in Episode 12, grounding the later attack in the unresolved consequences of Episode 11's climax.
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.
