Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski’s advice gives Riker the necessary emotional clarity to stop running. When Kyle challenges him to anbo-jyutsu, Riker’s response — 'You're on' — is not rage but resolution: he finally chooses to face his father, not as a son seeking approval, but as a man ready for truth."
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.
