Irrational inertia / Poetic momentum - Linguistic inertia

Suppose you are given this sentence ('A gave a ball to B') and you, in general, start thinking about it - this event. You might think - how did he give the ball? (That is, placed it in his hand or threw it to him to catch from a short distance or.........etc.) 

Another thought could be (about B this time) - And what did B do? Did he take it? What was B's feeling/reaction? 

Now you thought about A - how did he give the ball? (and/or some other things). But you had something to think from - A gave a ball. So a follow-up to this is - how did he give? Why did he give? etc. But B is just a silent inactive agent in this event. There is nothing talked about B / B doing. It is not even stated "B took a ball from A". Still you came up with a question about B (how did B react? etc.) Where is the inertia for that? Where is the pointer to that?       

The only inertia/momentum for this is - 'talked about A, so talk about B'   .......  'A gave a ball (A did so and so), so what did B do?'   ....... 'Something about A; so something about B'............in this tune. Notice the 'And' before the very first question about B.

This can be merely called "Linguistic Inertia" - where the sheer and mere presence and arrangement of certain words brings certain things to your mind upon coming across a piece of data, in a certain pattern/tune/rhythm....etc., so to speak. They dont require "real" thinking.
