The seed
The payoff
(Pending — the rescue group races this exact clock through the rest of the Water Seven climax. Record the payoff chapter when read; the train departs at the end of this chapter with the rescuers not yet aboard.)
Why this matters
A textbook “explicit Chekhov deadline” — the narration states the timer, the stakes of missing it, and counts it down on-page, locking the desperate dash-to-the-train structure that drives the arc’s climax. The flood (a natural-disaster clock seeded since Ch. 335) is fused to the train schedule to manufacture the pursuit’s urgency.
