Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The old man's self-revelation of mutation (beat_b3a26ae8e25578db) directly precedes Varan's discovery of his own mutation (beat_7b47e41bbbeb83bb), showing the rapid and visible spread of the Marshal's experiments among the Solonians."
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.
