Saga parts chapter summaries and bridge

Chapter 080, What Was Left of the Girls

Chapter job: Open Shoni from the convoy side as a shadow before contact.

Physical frame: Morning after water lookout, evidence that someone alive approached at night and retreated.

Emotional spine: The most frightening living people are not always the loud ones. Sometimes they are careful.

Living-world realism: This is a perfect avoided-contact beat: water bowl, rope, footprint, boat line, missing item, cleaned object, or small sign of intelligent movement.

Carry forward: The convoy knows another living unit is nearby and competent.

Must preserve: Shoni do not jump into the pack. They enter first as a smart trace.
