# Immediate Continuity Check - Chapter 06

- CLEAN - timeline: Thursday, October 29 sits between Week 2 (Tuesday, October 27) and Week 3 (Tuesday, November 3). Evidence: `Thursday` gallery hours and no class assignment card.
- CLEAN - object state: Mara's scarf remains with June. Evidence: `wearing Mara's black scarf`; no return occurs.
- CLEAN - Ruth suspicion state: she misreads professional imbalance, not fake romance or protected identity. Evidence: `the class is your boss's class... your gallery` and `I saw enough to be worried. Not enough to be right.`
- CLEAN - June agency/payment boundary continues from Ch04. Evidence: `Black. Separate` and `She paid from her own coat pocket`.
- CLEAN - Theo protected identity remains hidden. Evidence: `Boss had passed because every public fact supported it`; no forbidden kinship terms.
- CLEAN - Priya/Ben thread begins as planned. Evidence: `Suffolk place is back on`; `Rent math is not a proposal`.

Strongest counter-candidate: `He had access to Odile that had never been printed on a contact sheet` edges toward the protected relation. It passes because it reads as institutional/private access from Theo's job and does not name family.

Chapter verdict: CONTINUITY-CLEAN.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
