# Immediate Continuity Check - Chapter 09

NAMES: CLEAN - checked Asha Ibrahim, Nia Torres, Marta Oduya, Marisol, Dana, Kessler. Near-miss considered: Mara/Marta/Marisol all appear in one chapter; Marta is always tied to "Oduya's shelf pieces" (line 13), Marisol runs the space (line 13), and Mara exists only through "Mara's scarf" (line 17).

TIMELINE: CLEAN - chapter occurs between Week 3 and Week 4: "Tuesday was five days off" (line 45) and the lease clock remains December: "My lease is up in December either way" (line 87). Near-miss fixed before commit: draft had January lease wording; current text matches canon.

KNOWLEDGE: CLEAN - June knows only that Theo's panel is off-rack and "in a folder somewhere" (line 45), not its content or location. Nia/Asha know only work-network facts. No one acts on the nephew secret.

OBJECTS: CLEAN - Mara's scarf and the rolled drawings are in June's tote (lines 17, 127); the new foamcore scrap is made on-page (lines 41-43), set face-down (line 55), then carried in the tote (line 127) and visible at the end (line 137). Theo's hidden study remains separate and off-page.

INJURIES: CLEAN - no injuries or health clocks introduced. Closest body-state candidate is "Her knees told her about the concrete floor" (line 17), ordinary work strain, not an injury.

## Contradictions found

None in current text. Pre-commit repairs corrected the two live contradictions/ambiguities: June's lease is December, not January; Nia's start line no longer says "our December showcase."

## New facts introduced

- facts introduced: Asha Ibrahim works in June's freelance install/art-handling network; Nia Torres is a former BFA peer with a Philadelphia printshop/program role lead; Marisol runs a small grant-funded art space; Marta Oduya had the outgoing ceramic shelf show.
- character state changes: June makes a private paint/value run on foamcore; June bristles at Nia's "Not a favor" and does not answer; Asha wants the Philadelphia job if June passes.
- object locations: foamcore scrap in June's tote under/with Mara's scarf and rolled drawings; Dana and Kessler contacts saved on June's phone.
- injuries: none.
- deaths: none.
- promises made: Asha tells June to contact Dana/Kessler/Nia before Friday; no formal promise from June.
- unresolved mysteries: none new; hidden Theo panel remains unresolved.
- planted seeds: S-OFFER-01 and S-NY-01 planted; Asha-for-Philly future care move planted.
- payoff targets: Nia deadline and Asha recommendation due around Ch22; material New York scaffolding due Ch22/Ch26.

## New promises or compacts

- Asha's practical compact: "Tell Dana no fish and tell Kessler I sent you before Friday" (line 129).
- Implied compact with Nia: "Call me this week if you want details before it posts" (line 63); June breaks/delays it by typing nothing.

## Continuity log additions

- Facts: Ch09, early November after Week 3, June works a project-room repaint/deinstall shift with Asha Ibrahim at Marisol's small art space after Marta Oduya's ceramic shelf show.
- Character state: June makes and keeps a foamcore value-run scrap, first private making outside class; she hides then carries it.
- Object state: foamcore scrap joins rolled drawings and Mara's scarf in June's tote; Dana/Kessler contacts saved.
- Promise/seed: Nia offers a six-month Philadelphia printshop/programs/fabrication role, likely Jan 1, start flexible after mid-December; Asha offers Dana's Ridgewood studio spot and Kessler's January armory build-out.
- Payoff: Asha wants the Philly role if June passes; June must later decline/recommend Asha without making Philly bad.

Verdict: CLEAN.
