Chapter 143, Battle for the Base, Part 5, Legends After Nate
Chapter job: Continue grief inside action without erasing it.
Physical frame: Legends in pain, Sara / Ava, Gideon, battle team, radio, storage / gate / water line, blood, wrong joke.
Emotional spine: The Legends grieve like Legends: work, rage, inappropriate humor, refusal to stop.
Living-world realism: Battle pressure must continue, including sounds, movement, living dead, unknown rooms, and the risk of other human traces.
Carry forward: Chapter 144 receives the Legends wounded but functioning and the community needing to move as one.
Must preserve: Do not turn grief into only a joke. Do not explain it to the reader instead of showing it.
