Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan’s transformation into the vessel of the Mara causes her to interact differently with Aris in the windchime scene. Her playful demeanor shifts as the Mara takes hold, culminating in her manipulation of Aris and the transfer of the snake entity to him. This is the first domino in the external threat manifesting within the dome."

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.
