Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Data revealing Mikey D’s murder corresponds to page 244 leads directly to his disclosure of the novel’s ending—the discovery of 'foreign investors'—which is the only available loophole Riker can use to escape. This is the pivotal narrative pivot of the entire story."
About Causal Connections
