How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Barbara melting the ice to get to the micro key (beat_99d66c33a6f9de83) directly causes the ice wall to break and the knights to be freed, leading to Susan having to cross the flimsy rope bridge to get everyone to safety (beat_78a707199449fa14)."

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.
