The narrative assertion
"Varan's narrow escape from patrol during his flight (beat_26de0aef75cb6474) leads directly to his return to his village and call to action (beat_f4348dcc6529d40f), showing the continuity of his journey from fugitive to rebel leader."
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.
