### Characters who should not appear physically No Avalance, Waverider crew, Anya, Mike, Dustin, Karen/Holly, or Part 3 payoff figures physically in this chapter unless already active in Part 2's main group logic. No future city people.
### Knowledge map | Character/group | Knows at start | Learns in chapter | Knows by end | Must not know yet | |---|---|---|---|---| | Alex | Daycare home is threatened, Theo cannot survive endless improvisation, people are dangerous | Isolation is no longer enough; a group of mostly women can lower some threat signals
### Forbidden knowledge No instant trust. No narrator declaring found family. No Theo walking. No clean cure to Alex's suspicion. No full Thea story delivered at once. No Steve/radio payoff. No resolved Piper-family contact canon until Git explicitly locks that decision. Use the locked infrastructure timeline only for
### Objects, vehicles, supplies, body, and logistics Daycare emergency bags, van, baby supplies, rings, pin, Thea object, bottles, cloth, diapers, water, food, weapons, failed shelter/house, contact-site physical state, first pack supplies and weapons as seen from Vauseman POV.
### Children, animals, injuries, pregnancy, and medical continuity Theo is 8-10 months across the chapter: crawling, grabbing, pulling up, loud, hungry, needing sleep and arms. Injuries from daycare escape/road must carry into contact. No walking yet.
### Relationship state at opening Alex/Piper are mothers and lovers in a fragile home under threat.
### Emotional shift in the chapter From fierce isolation to conditional contact, because isolation has become physically impossible for Theo.
### Relationship state at ending Alex/Piper remain a couple and parenting unit. The main pack is not family yet; it is a possible structure that has not hurt Theo.
### Constraints Do not make the daycare break clean. Do not make van life romantic. Do not let Piper's need for people become naivete. Do not let Alex's suspicion become irrational caricature. The first pack's largely female composition can lower threat but not erase caution.
### Future seeds Chapter 034 absorption, Theo's needs reshaping the group, Alex/Piper conditional trust, first pack's care ethics, future village pressure.
### How future seeds are allowed in prose Through present-tense objects, actions, blocking, incomplete knowledge, and character-specific perception.
### How future seeds are forbidden in prose No reader-facing explanation, no prophecy language, no `they did not know yet`, no future-summary framing.
### Active-file contradictions to resolve Any older line that says Chapter 033 is only first contact is outdated. Chapter 033 is daycare escape + van/failed shelter + contact around Theo age ten months.
### Files to update after this chapter `06_saga_parts_chapter_summaries_and_bridge.md`, `11_part2_worklist_and_logic_map.md`, `05_canon_ledger_and_word_count_audit.md` word count / summary if accepted.
### Status Full organized planning slot. Awaiting Chapter 032 acceptance before prose.
## Chapter 034, What Did Not Sleep Beside Them * Working role: The first week after Vauseman joins must test whether the place is threat, shelter, or both. Theo dictates sleep, sound, food, routes, laundry, medicine, and who can take a watch. Alex and Piper must remain mothers and lovers, not just new logistical assets
### Chapter 035, Who Holds What * Working role: The second Vauseman absorption week turns the shelter into a village in miniature around Theo without naming it family yet. Piper builds routine and domestic logistics; Alex builds emergency bags, evacuation marks, and procedures; Robin becomes a voice that steadies Theo;
### Chapter 036, What They Heard Before They Saw * Working role: 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 o
### Chapter 037, What Remained of Their Future * Working role: Finn and Rachel's year after Ohio proves they are not a cute music insert. They survive as two after Kurt, carry music through notebooks, CDs, and living voice, pass through temporary groups, gather smart barter/life supplies, and find a loaded truck prepar
### Chapter 038, What Young People Like That Do to the Group's Energy * Working role: The Finchel contact becomes action. Rachel asks for help; Lexa treats Finn cautiously, Nancy holds the weapon line and reads Rachel, and Raven reads the truck and its contents. The truck contains exactly what Theo and the shelter need
