Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Skull revealing the war's purpose has been served (beat_17281b652a74ca7a) leads to the Marshal misinterpreting the Zeon fleet's withdrawal (beat_0e91f0aa2b45c2b4), indicating a deeper manipulation by unseen forces."
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.
