Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Building from the death, a Lumarian meditation ceremony commences, driving Alkar to touch his stone to Troi's, causing them to glow, and Alkar appears relieved, while Troi experiences a chill. This begins the emotional and psychological shift of Troi that drives a major portion of the narrative."
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.
