Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Picard informing Beverly that Reyga's family refused the autopsy directly causes her to express her suspicion about Reyga's death in the morgue, needing to seek other answers without the support of protocol."

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.
