### Forbidden knowledge No instant trust. No narrator declaring found family. No Theo walking. No clean cure to Alex's suspicion. No full Thea story delivered at once. No Steve/radio payoff. The source05 family-contact lock applies; do not give Piper early knowledge of the Part7 outcome. Use the locked infrastructure t
### 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### Active-file contradictions to resolve Any older line that says Chapter 033 is only first contact is outdated.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.
### Time / place / weather AroundMonth18, winter; daycare escape, damaged route and the contact already glimpsed in029.
### POV / focus Scene-level focal characters: Piper and Alex. Keep each scene within its focal character's available perceptions and knowledge.
### Required beats and body / logistics, concrete execution Carry the existing daycare escape and failed shelter rather than replaying only the first meeting. Move Theo and the actual bags into the minivan, then leave it concealed when the route becomes unsafe. Return to029's exact positions. Clarke offers bounded car
### Emotional engine Leaving a place built for their son feels like failure even when leaving saves him.
### Physical cast Alex and Piper; Thea appears only late031 and dies there. Theo is physically present from the031 birth. The core women appear only at033 contact. No later entrants in the retrospective road scenes.
### Knowledge map, execution boundary The women know their own history and only observed survival patterns. No information about the main group before033; Theo cannot carry knowledge beyond his age.
### Vehicles Vauseman acquire and maintain their minivan on the road/daycare line. In033 it is concealed after the failed route; it remains recoverable in039. The031 newborn flight uses only reachable supplies.
