Chapter 082, The Dog Who Was Not Left Behind

Chapter job: Continue Shoni after first kiss and bring in the animal line.

Physical frame: Shelby, Toni, their dog / animal responsibility, movement, water, fear, and intimacy.

Emotional spine: They survive together because they refuse to abandon life that depends on them.

Living-world realism: A dog changes noise, food, route, hiding, and whether they risk staying visible.

Carry forward: Their animal responsibility prepares them to understand the convoy's Scout / Beta / later Princess logic.

Must preserve: The dog is not a cute prop. The animal changes decisions.
