### 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### Active-file contradictions to resolve Any older line that says Chapter 033 is only first contact is outdated.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.
