Why this matters

A negative-space seed: the chapter draws explicit attention to an absence (“Perona’s still missing”) without explaining it, in the same beat that establishes Kuma’s unexplained relocation power. The juxtaposition is the planted gun — what Kuma’s paw does to a person, and where Perona ends up.
