Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The cave-in forces the group to split: the Doctor and Sondergaard remain to study the tablets while Jo’s group heads to Varan’s village. This structural split drives the entire Act 2 divergence of plotlines and sets up the eventual convergence at Skybase."
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.
