Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Colonel's report about seeing Victoria and Professor Travers (beat_83f3548bacbea50c) immediately precedes Arnold's appearance and warning about HQ being overrun (beat_1142acaf4d47055d), raising suspicion about how Arnold knew this. This, with the report of Arnold's death, is what reveals his duplicity."

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.
