Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Drax discretely following the Doctor and his escort (beat_2065e97b034d2c09) sets up his alignment with the Doctor's cause, which becomes crucial when the Doctor seemingly agrees to retrieve the Key to Time (beat_dd3b58178b2d4044), positioning Drax to take action."
About Causal Connections
