Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation of Malkon's arm marking (beat_9036d9fdbb0c2774) prompts Malkon's immediate questioning of Timanov about Logar's destructive intentions (beat_e25770999c791e5a), showing how the mark triggers internal conflict and doubt. This is a critical causal chain linking identity, faith, and prophecy."
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.
