Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zastor and Lexa's tense discussion about the power issue and skepticism of the Savants' approach (Walkway scene) directly leads to Meglos's later exploitation of Tigella's divisions. Meglos's plan hinges on the Deons' attachment to the Dodecahedron, a belief system Zastor struggles to navigate."
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.
