Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Shadow directly orders Astra to meet her 'lover' in the Shadow's lair, immediately setting her on a path to interact with the Doctor. This command leads to Astra's mission to lure the Doctor to the Shadow's lair, making this a pivotal moment in the Shadow's plan."
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.
