Chapter 087, Castle / Beckett, Chapter 1, Age and Continuity Repair
Chapter job: Open Caskett from their past and establish why they belong at the end of Part 3.
Physical frame: Castle, Beckett, Lily, the twins, work, family, investigation, and Day Zero.
Emotional spine: Caskett arrive carrying family weight, not only a clever investigation beat.
Living-world realism: Day Zero must reach them through city systems, police / investigation texture, family panic, partial information, and failed authority.
Carry forward: Caskett become emotionally grounded before contact with the convoy.
Must preserve: Caskett are the end-of-road pressure, not an opening to Part 4.
