# Surprise Audit - Chapter 19

Verdict: SURPRISE-PRESENT.

## Expected Move

A default chapter would have Theo explain himself to the cohort, be comforted, or receive an Odile scolding.

## Actual Move

The chapter's turn is spatial and material: Odile moves Theo's stool to the empty side and says only `"From here."` The strongest consequence is not information but forced vantage.

## Evidence

- The surprise is prepared by the assignment card (`Paint the side you can reach`) and pays off without explaining itself.
- Luis's earlier directness (`You can't leave it half`) makes Odile's physical relocation feel like scene consequence rather than arbitrary symbolism.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
