Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's discovery of the Key to Time segment (disguised as a statue) and subsequent attack by the ape-like creature immediately places her within Grendel's crosshairs. This begins the chain of events that leads to her capture and eventual examination in Lamia's laboratory, where her non-android nature is discovered."
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.
