だけに

だけに is used to indicate that, because of a preceding reason or circumstance, the following result or state naturally follows. It often emphasizes a sense of justification or heightened consequence: the speaker notes that due to the stated condition, a particular outcome is understandable, unsurprising, or especially pronounced. The clause before だけに expresses the cause or basis, and the clause after だけに expresses the natural consequence or judgment.
