Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell downplays Anne's perceived flaws to Henry. This is directly juxtaposed with Olisleger warning Anne about an 'important' man, as Gardiner and Castillon approach Cromwell hinting at an 'upset,' showing Cromwell's attempts to manage the narrative failing."

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.
