# Ending Quality Audit - Chapter 19

Verdict: ENDING-CLEAN.

## Evidence

- The ending lands on an object consequence, not a summary: Theo places the clean jar below the stain, then locks the door.
- The action changes the state of the room: Theo has stopped filling water June did not ask for and leaves a clean empty jar instead.
- The close preserves unresolved pressure: June remains absent; the ground has a stain; the jar is ready but unfilled.

## Weak-Ending Checks

- No moral explanation after the object.
- No stillness-only camera pullback.
- No thesis sentence that tells the reader what the jar means; the prior `ready to be filled` caption was removed after Plain Translation.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
