Chapter 036, What They Heard Before They Saw

Chapter job: A supply run for Theo becomes the first Finchel contact. About a month after Vauseman enters, Lexa, Nancy, and Raven leave in the Chapter 027 escape vehicle while Clarke, Alex, Piper, Robin, Theo, Scout, and Beta hold the shelter. They mark a Department of Roads service vehicle for later, enter a community center for formula, child supplies, medicine, and a coded Steve sign, then hear Rachel and Finn before seeing them. The chapter opens Finchel's standalone old-world/Day Zero thread in Ohio through the music room, school barricade, Carole and Burt dying at the door, Kurt's later death, the music-note pin, song notebook, Rachel's fathers' recording, and leaving Ohio without a clean destination.

Carry forward: See Part 2 file 11_part2_worklist_and_logic_map.md for approved full contract, physical cast, objects, knowledge limits, and detailed handoff.

Must preserve: Approved source-merged details from part2_chapter_logic_map.md plus the newer planning decisions. No radio proof, no new Steve information, no Avalance/Waverider, no Mike/Dustin, no Anya physically in Part 2.
