The whole point of this story (or one of them) is that it is not intended to run on narrativium, that people make decisions and things happen for rational, believable, predictable reasons. It is a puzzle meant to be solved

The real world is chaos. The real world isn't a puzzle that's meant to be solved. Puzzles need narrativum.
