Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s arrival in Blue Level while Jek is tending Peri (beat_67d65d4984d5a6ca) allows him to witness Peri’s suffering firsthand and immediately learn of the bat milk cure from Jek (beat_e9a7fa8aebc9b95c). This is the critical narrative hinge that shifts the Doctor from pursuer to supplicant, and from observer to actor."
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.
