### Chapter role in Part 2
Block: The first convoy. The first multi-vehicle movement begins. The group sounds like a convoy before it has earned the word: spacing, hand signals, stops, children, animals, Steve signs, maps, tools, weight, fuel, and emergency access. Robin's perception line is active: she may hear a diff

### Chapter role in Part 2
Block: The first convoy. A collective memory chapter without biography dumping. Costia, Steve, Octavia, Abby, prison, Storybrooke, Kurt, family, and old futures surface through objects, fire, touch, jokes, selective honesty, and silence. The group learns more of each other's losses without he
