Chapter 041, The Day Storybrooke Stopped Pretending
Summary: Day Zero breaks Storybrooke's denial. Emma responds through street-level protection and instinct; Regina responds through structure, emergency hierarchy, ration rules, safe rooms, and command; Henry's safety changes every argument. Around day nine the town's first survival shape is visible, but so is the cost of trying to hold the world outside.
