Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's insistence that the sea fort must be investigated (beat_5a6fa9f5c797caca) leads directly to the climactic moment where a scaly green hand reaches for their boat (beat_9ea45f14c22a9437), confirming the threat's presence and raising the stakes for Act Two."
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.
