3. Nate already dead from Part 5, with the Legends carrying that grief.
4. Seth and Summer still alive at the start of the Part 6 opening battle, and dying in that o
## What Part 6 hands to Part 7

# Living People, Rescue Roads, and Moving Vehicles Logic
Part 6 rescue and intake logic must treat the outside world as populated by living survivors, not only living dead.
Continuity requirements:
* Rescue convoys must encounter or avoid signs of living people: moving vehicles, guarded homes, roadblocks, fresh camp
# Standalone Intake Arc Logic
Part 6 intake skeletons must treat every major arrival as a proportional standalone arc.
Continuity requirements:
* No intake wave may be only a list of names, skills, and children.
* Major arrivals need old-world identity, Day Zero or collapse memory, survival route, scars, relationshi

# Part limits
1. Do not turn Part 6 into an intake catalog.
2. Do not show institutions without people operating them physically.
3. Do not make the city perfect.
4. Do not forget that the heart remains the four main couples.
5. Do not confuse Sara Lance with Sarah Walker.
6. Do not make Regina only a manager. She bui
## Children and youth
Theo, Kurt, Henry, Hawkins, Caskett children, Molly, Avalance children, Sarah/Chuck children, Sofia, Mark, Timothy, and other children brought by intake waves. Every child needs age, place, food, sleep, fear, and voice.
## Injuries
Lexa is badly wounded in the opening. Clarke is exhausted. Rachel is postpartum and raising Kurt. Injuries from previous parts do not vanish. New injuries only by chapter logic.

### Existing summary / content lock
Part 6 opens inside the same battle, not after cleanup. Lexa is badly wounded again in the old area. Clarke does not move from her. The base is still full of dead corners, bodies, and unchecked doors.
