# Surprise Audit - Chapter 06

SURPRISES - category: character revelation - THE MOVE: `"If the class stops being good for her, week five, say, and she wants out, and she doesn't want to explain herself, who can she tell who isn't you?"` - location: Ruth coffee-walk scene - why unpredicted: after Ch04 the reader expects Ruth to pursue comped-slot/professional-impropriety facts; instead she asks about June's exit route and agency - why coherent: Ch04 established Ruth's folded napkin map and suspicion about imbalance, and Ch06 has just shown June correcting couple assumptions herself.

SURPRISES - category: character action - THE MOVE: `"Two," he said. "Ask her first."` - location: bodega coffee counter - why unpredicted: Theo's care move is order-remembering and route-handling; the expected beat is that he performs usefulness - why coherent: Ruth has just named the problem of every route running through him.

Chapter verdict: SURPRISES.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
