Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Aris’s destruction of the marotte marks the point of no return in his possession by the Mara, directly leading to his later comment in the circle—'Aris comments on the situation, showing his unease or surprise'—as he regains partial awareness."
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.
