Saga parts chapter summaries and bridge

Chapter 063, What Mick Bought with Fire

Chapter job: Lock the major Legends split and the road that brings Sara and Ava to Cedar Lanes.

Physical frame: Avalance under threat, Mick's loss / sacrifice / separation line, and the movement toward convoy contact.

Emotional spine: Mick remains an active loss, not a trivia note.

Living-world realism: Fire, roads, living survivors, blocked routes, and moving danger should shape why Sara and Ava arrive wounded and not empty.

Carry forward: Sara and Ava reach the convoy alive, married, wounded, and carrying a mobile home full of ghosts.

Must preserve: Do not turn Mick into background. Do not make Avalance useful before they are emotionally present.
