Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Pulaski’s counsel to 'jettison the emotional baggage' is the direct result of Riker’s misreading of Kyle’s trauma — her intervention is the emotional catalyst that prepares Riker for the anbo-jyutsu duel, where he'll finally see his father not as a rival, but as a survivor."
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.
