Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's failed negotiation with the Gravis, in which the Gravis demands to see the TARDIS (beat_b380bdfb85ee1ef6), directly leads to the Gravis entering the TARDIS, setting up the escalation that culminates in beat_7fecbf99ae102399 as the Gravis's concentration on the TARDIS creates a critical vulnerability."
About Causal Connections
