### Active-file contradictions to resolve Check during skeleton pass against `canon_ledger.md`, `chapters_summaries.md`, `worklist_by_parts_part2.md`, and adjacent chapter entries.
### Files to update after this chapter `chapters_summaries.md`, `part2_chapter_logic_map.md`, `worklist_by_parts_part2.md`, and `canon_ledger.md` if canon changes.
### Status Full organized planning slot. Awaiting new skeleton pass.
### Time / place / weather Month17, morning after027 at the visitor center; cold damp departure.
### POV / focus Scene-level focal characters: Nancy and Clarke. Keep each scene within its focal character's available perceptions and knowledge.
### Required beats and body / logistics, concrete execution Count the actual load before breakfast; Clarke redresses the same thigh wound while Robin waters the animals; Nancy and Raven inspect a short outward route and leave a restrained Steve sign. Lexa accepts help getting into the van, then objects to being exclud
### Emotional engine Nancy has a map but no home; Clarke has to receive Lexa's fear without treating it as a wound she can close.
### Physical cast Lexa, Clarke, Nancy, Robin and Raven; Scout and Beta. No Theo or later entrants.
### Knowledge map, execution boundary Core knowledge remains the earlier account that Steve survived the store, not proof of his current survival or location. Signs continue without an answer; no radio payoff, no knowledge of Steve with Mike/Dustin or Anya. Newcomers learn only what is said or witnessed.
### Vehicles The026 escape van carries five adults and both animals with the deliberately limited load. No extra vehicle is implied by a later cast arrival.
### Children / animals No child travels with the original pack before029; Scout and Beta have named handlers, water and shelter.
### Injuries Preserve the009 left-thigh wound in028 and early road weeks; later ordinary function follows elapsed healing, not a reset in029. Finn's037 leg injury is non-bite, with assisted travel and restricted work in038–039. Thea dies from childbirth complications in031. No new lasting injury is added by these exec
### Couples / relationships Clexa: recognition and fear after the kiss; Ronance: lovers carrying Steve as family, never a triangle; Vauseman: existing messy, intimate marriage before parenthood; SwanQueen: a marriage without the word before contact; Finchel: young warmth and grief. Use only the couples actually presen
### Canon locks Preserve the existing approved chapter purpose and entry sequence. No radio payoff before065; Steve evidence is not current proof. Theo is Alex/Piper's son; Anya and Avalance are absent. SwanQueen have no magic. The convoy name is earned in059.
### Not solved Lexa's mobility and loss of home; Steve's location and present survival.
### Carry-forward and handoff A searched roadside shelter with water containers refilled, the same five women and two animals, and no restored Shell stores.
### Exit point A searched roadside shelter with water containers refilled, the same five women and two animals, and no restored Shell stores.
## Chapter 029, The Little Thing That Cried
### Existing working summary Theo enters as a living child, not a metaphor. His crying breaks the logic of the road and forces the group to respond with body, risk, sound discipline, compassion, and logistics. Vauseman are encountered through the child and through the kind of love that still knows how to protect.
### Chapter role in Part 2 To carry the Part 2 transformation from first-pack survival toward a larger moving system. Specific role for this chapter: Theo enters as a living child, not a metaphor. His crying breaks the logic of the road and forces the group to respond with body, risk, sound discipline, compassion, and
