# NPC Offscreen Goals Audit - Chapter 12

Trigger: every 3rd chapter.

## Offscreen Movement Checked

- Priya/Ben: The Monday 5 p.m. Suffolk application deadline has passed by Chapter 12's 6:20 p.m. scene. The chapter does not reveal their choice; tracker must mark the outcome unknown and require next on-page clarification. This is acceptable because Theo/June are alone and the chapter protects their private memory exchange.
- Ruth/Sam: No new action; Ch11 pressure rests.
- Mara/Luis: Mara's likely future question about the handoff is anticipated by Theo; this keeps her social pressure alive without putting her on page.
- Odile: Off-page but active through prep card. Her goal of tailored pressure continues materially.
- Asha/Nia: No new action visible to Theo. June's private offer remains protected.

## Verdict

PASS WITH TRACKER REQUIRED. Update `npc_goals.md` for Priya/Ben deadline and Odile prep-card pressure.
