### Chapter role in Part 2
Block: Merged group pressure. The first post-merge shelter chapter proves the cost of too many people. Doors, sleeping spaces, water, Theo, Henry, Scout, Beta, weapons, medicine, jealousy, privacy, light, and vehicle access collide physically. This is not another negotiation; it is the body o

Block: Merged group pressure. Henry's first night inside group space stays child-centered. Emma and Regina are mothers before they are leaders; trust is tested through food, fear, questions, bedtime, where weapons go, who speaks quietly, and what truth a child can carry. Henry has a place by

### Chapter role in Part 2
Block: Merged group pressure. Leadership friction becomes practical. Regina, Lexa, Nancy, Emma, Alex, Clarke, Raven, and the others collide over water, exits, routes, vehicles, Theo, Henry, weapons, medical bodies, and the next move. The chapter proves leadership must become a system rather t
