Are you sure

I apologize for the incorrect response. Upon reviewing the sentences again, it is clear that the plot has the most influence over the other story elements. The plot is driven by Mike's actions and the conflict between him and his brother, with the setting (underneath the tree and the rain) serving as a backdrop for the events.
