Canon ledger and word count audit

3.6 Chapters 34-36 Lock, Vauseman, Theo, Holly, and Clexa

Chapters 34-35 are Vauseman and Theo's first two weeks in the pack's existing shelter.
Chapter 34 covers the first week: rescue, field check for Theo, Vauseman gaze, Alex's emergency bag, return to the shelter, reaction to Beta and Scout, Piper beginning to arrange a corner for Theo, Theo drawn to Robin's voice, and Nancy thinking about Holly when she sees Robin with him.
Chapter 35 covers the second week: Piper changes the shelter so it works for a child, Alex builds emergency procedures, Robin becomes a regular voice for Theo, Alex joins Raven and Robin's Clexa betting, and the end locks Alex's quiet understanding that they have found a place, people, and a village for Theo, but not yet family.
Chapter 36 begins after about two more weeks. Vauseman are more absorbed and the shelter is alive in a new rhythm around Theo before Finchel enters.
The Holly line is seeded in Chapters 34-35 through Nancy seeing Robin with Theo and thinking Mike would already love her and Holly would also fit with her. This must pay off when Holly returns in the future.
Clexa in Chapters 34-35 are at the stage of stolen kisses, touch, care, and external pressure. Their full physical and emotional explosion is locked for Chapter 52.
Family for Vauseman is not locked in Chapters 34-35. At the end of Chapter 35 there is a place, people, and a village for Theo. Family will come later, around the Vauseman wedding in Chapter 76.
