# Mentor-Scene Check - Chapter 19

Verdict: MENTOR-SCENE-HELD.

## Mentor-Risk Figure

Odile.

## Evidence Against Wisdom-Dispensing Failure

- Odile gives no explanation of Theo's failure.
- Her key intervention is physical: `She had it by the seat... and set it down on the bare side, square to the work.`
- Spoken guidance is two words: `"From here."`
- She does not reveal knowledge, forgive, condemn, or provide thesis.

## Secondary Risk

Luis could become a mentor-oracle. His directness remains material: `"You blocked in her stool"` and `"You can't leave it half."` He speaks from what he sees on the ground, not from generalized wisdom.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
