# Surprise Audit: Chapter 03

SURPRISES - category: character revelation / striking image - THE MOVE: line 99 "It was the ugliest decent drawing she had made in six years" - location: first Theo pose - why unpredicted: the chapter sets June up for public badness and humiliation; the turn is not competence but a specific ugly-success that makes making possible again. Why coherent: Ch01 established six years stopped-painting; Ch03's assignment forces looking over checking.

SURPRISES - category: plot/social turn - THE MOVE: line 137 `"Give it back next Tuesday."` - why unpredicted: Mara's scarf begins as practical warmth; the line converts it into a return obligation and future social tether. Why coherent: chapter card requires Mara's black scarf seed for Ch18.

Chapter verdict: SURPRISES.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
