### Constraints Show through scene logic. No reader-facing explanations, no prophecy language, no future-summary phrasing, no convenient knowledge jumps.
### Future seeds To be placed through present-tense objects, actions, blocking, incomplete knowledge, and character-specific perception.
### How future seeds are allowed in prose Through present-tense objects, actions, blocking, incomplete knowledge, and character-specific perception. No narrator announcement.
### 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 Check during the skeleton pass against `canon_ledger.md`, `chapters_summaries.md`, `worklist_by_parts_part3.md`, and any active prose master.
### Files to update after this chapter `chapters_summaries.md`, `worklist_by_parts_part3.md`, `part3_chapter_logic_map.md`, and `canon_ledger.md` if canon changes.
### Status Organized planning slot. Awaiting new skeleton pass.
## Chapter 081, The City That Thought It Would Stay Beautiful
### Block Water Line / Shoni / Seth-Summer
### Existing planning summary Chapter 81 is Shoni's full past chapter, Shelby and Toni on the Newport waterline. There is no convoy and no arrival into the present, only Day Zero, a beautiful city that thinks it will stay beautiful, water, fear, attraction, friction, and survival through closeness.
### Chapter role in this part The chapter must serve the water environment, marina logistics, Shoni, Seth / Summer, continued Steve signs, fragile broadcasts, and the growing truth that the convoy cannot stay road-only.
### Physical opening To be locked during the new skeleton pass from the previous chapter's physical ending. Do not reuse old prose if it contradicts the current block order.
### Physical ending To be locked during the new skeleton pass according to the next chapter's needs and the current block's handoff.
### What the previous chapter leaves that must matter here Carry forward physical continuity from the previous chapter: vehicles, route, supplies, injuries, children, animals, relationship state, knowledge state, and any active object or signal.
### What the next chapter must receive from here The next chapter must receive a clear physical handoff, not just an emotional idea: location, vehicle arrangement, who is present, who knows what, and what problem is still open.
### Physically active characters To be locked during the new skeleton pass. Do not place a character physically in the chapter only to mark canon. They need action, body, dialogue, knowledge, or consequence.
### Characters active through speech, memory, object, or absence Use absence as an active force only when it affects behavior, objects, signs, dialogue, or body. Steve, Lexa, Anya, the Legends, Hawkins, Shoni, Seth / Summer, or Caskett may be active this way only when the block permits it.
### Characters who should not appear physically in this chapter To be checked against the block order before writing.
### Knowledge map | Character / group | Knows at start | Learns in chapter | Knows by end | Must not know yet | |---|---|---|---|---| | Main convoy | To be filled during skeleton pass | To be filled through scene action | To be filled by physical ending | Cross-block information not yet earned | | Block focus character
### Forbidden knowledge No full Steve reunion in Part 3. No GPS solution. No stable radio rescue. No Anya learning Lexa through Steve. No Waverider magic. No side couple replacing the main core.
