# Chapter 24 Cover-the-Names Voice Test - Current Text

June narration - PASS. Covering names, the value-ranking coats at L3, coffee-cup composition self-check at L3, and portrait-value read at L99 are unmistakably June's optical/practical register. Strongest counter-candidate: L117-L127 becomes more explanatory; it still uses June's made-thing/order-reading logic.

Theo dialogue - PASS. `"It's meant to lean"` at L29, `"I've been carrying paragraphs around in my pocket all night"` at L73, and `"To the corner"` / `"I'm not carrying anything"` at L157 show practical restraint with residual over-explaining.

Odile dialogue - PASS. `"Sign yourself out too. You're work that left the building. I keep a record"` at L113 and `"I ran a class"` at L125 are clipped, logistical, and unsentimental. Strongest counter-candidate: L125's longer explanation; it survives because the final reveal requires a limited account and remains under one paragraph.

Ruth voice - PASS. `"You didn't start this together"` at L51 is precise, low, privacy-aware, and only one sharp line.

Mara/Luis voices - PASS. Mara routes food at L39/L79; Luis says only `"There"` after placement at L43. Their Ch24 payoff differentiates them.

Priya/Ben voices - PASS. Priya's April aside and too-milky coffee at L45-L47 preserve practical care; Ben's off-level flyer action is nonverbal and character-specific.

Chapter verdict: `VOICE-HOLDS`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
