Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polo's despair and reliance on Tegana (beat_5d4b4107b5c723a2) are directly addressed when Tegana reappears at the oasis (beat_ea8a1a60ce3ccfb4), offering a reason (albeit false) for his delay. The situation directly leads to this beat."
About Causal Connections
