Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor discovering pure metal deposits in the Creature's lair directly leads to his ability to pocket and later reference these materials, which becomes a key part of his credibility when confronting Adrasta about the Creature's nature. His exploration and pocketing of the metals also mirrors the bandits' later theft of valuable metals, creating a thematic parallel around exploitation."
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.
