"Между минус девятью и нулём" - why "минус" is not declined here?
между (nom., pl.) (nom. sing.) (instr,, sing.) и (nom. pl.) (instr. sing.) // между (nom. pl.) (instr. sing.) и (instr. pl.) // seems 'punctuation' and 'minus' have similar behavior with compound numbers...

I wouldn't have even thought of narration as a case...interesting. Still I imagine that this, too, falls under 'the way it is'. Curious if this 'class' of words belongs somewhere in a grammatical taxonomy. In my example it seems to function as an adjective, in yours... conjunction?

i have come to accept, 'it's just how it is' many times, and I'm fine with that. Guess i just was surprised preposition immediately before would not have precedence

«Для» или «за»? – This store is for the purchase of
aaahhh pt 6 of the first link is "за" + instr, and with a verb of motion.... I can understand using genitive for attributes (e.g. as in writing out dates in full)... is anything attributive cast in genitive as a rule of thumb? The "adverbial modifier of purpose"...gramaren.ru/grammar/gt/the-types-of-adverbial-the-modifier ... oh, these are just adverbs.. thanks :)

'all of the' vs 'all the' : using весь
I'm still trying to understand your answer, but... how did you know to use a preposition, из? I think prepositions are usually dictated by verbs, but not here... Maybe the answer is here: russian.stackexchange.com/questions/16617/…

вовлечённых - proper use in a translated English sentence for "involved"?
Okay, it's a rule - "you can only use the short form with the past passive participles in predicative role" that I apparently did not come across. I will write this down, as it is contrary to the use of the short adjective. Thanks!

These examples, with cases, distracted me from wondering why you still elected to use the very same participle I did, just the "short-form". Books just tell me that the long-forms are "bookish" (maybe related to what @DK. said above in comment) and can be interchanged w/ который+<past tense быть>+<short form>. The only other difference I see in long vs short is wrt adjectives (and, at least active participles) whereby short-forms can be used both predicatively and attributively. How can you use the short-form but not the long-form?
