### Injuries Lexa's left-thigh knife wound from009 remains restricted: shorter walking, no running/climbing/heavy lifting, clean dressings and protection from cold/wet. No fresh wound is invented to explain continuing limits.
### Children / animals Scout and Beta both need water, shelter, handling and an explicit person responsible during movement. No children are physically present.
### Couples / relationships The first full Clexa kiss is chosen and reciprocated. Clarke's earlier Finn is Finn Collins, not Finn Hudson; no Hudson/Clarke triangle is invented. The kiss does not name a settled future. ---
## Chapter 026, What Was Chosen
### Purpose Deliver the Part 1 climax before the027 aftermath. Living human danger reaches Shell, Robin's old signs become consequence, deliberate sign system is born, Lexa chooses the pack over the place.
### Required beats 1. Direct living people threat reaches or exposes Shell. 2. Threat connects to old Robin grief signs, human pattern-reading, Shell resource logic and previously seeded movement. 3. Living dead join through noise/fire/movement, but humans are the collapse trigger. 4. Robin breaks under guilt. 5. Nanc
### World / body / threat Preferred weather: cold rain / wet ground / low light. Rain hides sound but slows escape. Fire/smoke/light attract danger. Beta is hard to move. Scout scent is affected but useful. No neutral weather.
### Exit point into Chapter 027 Chapter 027 receives a moving pack with no home, limited supplies, Scout, Beta, Raven inside the group, Ronance stable but carrying Steve, Clexa kissed and unresolved, deliberate Steve signs born, Lexa having chosen the pack over Shell.
### Time / place / weather Shell Day35, cold rain, wet ground and failing light; station breach and van evacuation.
### POV / focus Lexa's choice to evacuate, Robin's guilt, and Nancy/Raven turning grief signs into a deliberate system.
### Emotional engine Lexa must leave a home that still exists because holding it would cost the people who made it matter.
### Physical cast Lexa, Clarke, Nancy, Robin, Raven and Scout; Beta is physically present. No children or later entrants.
### Canon locks Living people trigger the crisis, old signs contribute to exposure, dead join through noise. Shell stays standing, damaged and breached. All five women, Scout and Beta leave.
### Failure points No total destruction by fire, punishment of Robin, magical extra cargo, new major death or rescue that erases the cost.
### Not solved They have a route out, not a new home or knowledge of Steve's present location.
### Carry-forward and handoff Chapter 027 receives a moving pack with no home, limited supplies, Scout, Beta, Raven inside the group, Ronance stable but carrying Steve, Clexa kissed and unresolved, deliberate Steve signs born, Lexa having chosen the pack over Shell.
### Knowledge map Clarke reveals only Steve's past survival in015; from015 onward the pack still lacks his current location. The deliberate external sign system begins only in026. Future arrivals are not physically present or known merely because the outline mentions them.
### Injuries Lexa's left-thigh knife wound from009 remains restricted: shorter walking, no running/climbing/heavy lifting, clean dressings and protection from cold/wet. No fresh wound is invented to explain continuing limits.
### Children / animals Scout and Beta both need water, shelter, handling and an explicit person responsible during movement. No children are physically present.
### Breach, packing and evacuation The human approach follows the visible old grief-sign pattern together with fresh route use and resources; it is not a magical decoding of the later private code. Attackers force the road-facing barrier and pin the main door, while noise pulls the dead toward that side. Nancy identif
