Saga parts chapter summaries and bridge

Active source

Chapter 186, Catra / Adora, Chapter 1

General role: Open Catra and Adora through an ensemble city frame, then return to their own Day Zero and road. Their line must carry damage, intensity, force, and emotional fire without becoming fantasy or powers.

Receives: Root and Shaw have already made the city confront dangerous practicality.

Must preserve: city systems must stay physical; core couples must remain emotionally visible; children, animals, food, water, gates, injuries, roads, rescue routes, and living-world danger cannot disappear because the chapter has theme.

Handoff: Chapter 187 receives Catra and Adora on the road, with their bond, damage, and survival pattern physically active.
