Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"After smashing plant samples and overturning chairs (beat_756ffff8ea0e8709), Hindle’s sudden calm use of a hexagonal mirror to groom himself (beat_756ffff8ea0e8709) directly precedes and motivates him to use it on the Kinda, leading to his psychological domination over them (beat_421dd51920ef4945). The tool of self-image becomes an instrument of control."
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.
