# Meanwhile Audit: Chapter 06

Range: Chapters 04-06.

Marchetti Rooms / studio: MOVED - ledger: Ch01-Ch03 `shifted from opening exhibition space to class studio`; on-page surfacing: Ch04 diner origin story, Ch05 Week 2 blind contour setup, Ch06 off-page institutional pressure `Run out of your gallery. You unlock the building...`.

Sonia's / cohort commons: MOVED - ledger: Ch01-Ch03 `Sonia's is established`; on-page surfacing: Ch04 full diner commons, Ch05 Sonia's rubber band carried, Ch06 Sonia's becomes part of possible exit-route thinking: `Sonia's was a diner, not a channel.`

Cohort social life: MOVED - ledger: pre-existing couple systems; on-page surfacing: Ch04 shared origin story, Ch05 class looking, Ch06 independent gallery walk. Evidence: `You two take this wall for me, please.`

June's lease clock: MOVED BUT LIGHT - ledger required reminder before offer arc; Ch06 surfaces adjacent housing pressure through Ben/Priya, not June's own lease. Evidence: `Suffolk place is back on` and `Sublet` board. This is protagonist-adjacent but not yet June-specific; Ch09 remains the planned material June reminder.

Priya/Ben housing thread: MOVED - ledger previously only cohort system; Ch06 creates concrete Suffolk apartment pressure. Evidence: `One bedroom, fourth floor`; `Rent math is not a proposal`.

Ruth/Sam privacy thread: MOVED - Ch04 suspicion becomes Ch06 action. Evidence: `who can she tell who isn't you?`

Range verdict: WORLD-IN-MOTION.

## Refreshed Ledger Block: Ch04-Ch06

- [protagonist-adjacent] The cohort now has a social life outside the Tuesday studio: Sonia's first, then a Thursday LES gallery walk where June/Theo are treated as a default unit.
- [hook] Ruth has moved from private suspicion to one practical ethical question: June needs an exit route that does not pass through Theo. This should surface again in Ch11/Ch20.
- [indifferent] Priya and Ben have a live Suffolk apartment possibility; the broker text and shared note make moving-in pressure concrete before the later slower-choice payoff.
- [protagonist-adjacent] Mara's scarf remains active and publicly noticed; the group still reads it as warmth, not future severance.
- [indifferent] The local gallery/project-room ecosystem continues around the class: basement print show, Rivington project room, frame-shop board, bodega coffee. Future chapters can reuse this as workaday neighborhood texture without turning it into a postcard.

Revision orders: update `output/meanwhile_ledger.md` with the refreshed Ch04-Ch06 block before Chapter 07 drafting.
