# Surprise Audit - Chapter 07

SURPRISES - category: striking image / character revelation - THE MOVE: "He'd painted her at an easel, torso tipped toward the work the way she leaned at a painting and never at a room, and her feet were angled toward the door." - location: line 70 - why unpredicted: the assignment promises memory portraits, but a reader expects recognizable features; Theo instead captures June's contradiction in stance. Why coherent: Ch03-Ch06 established June's exit reflex and painterly leaning; Ch05 established Theo can catch a scarf knot after looking.

SURPRISES - category: plot turn / object seed - THE MOVE: "His panel, her with the knot and the door-angled feet, did not go on the rails with the others." - location: line 112 - why unpredicted: after Odile says the rack is communal, the expected action is public drying with the rest. Why coherent: Theo's care mode is private object custody, and the thread ledger already needs S-PORTRAIT-01 to originate from Week 3.

SURPRISES - category: character revelation - THE MOVE: "June didn't get in it. She wrote THEO BRENNAN... no pause at either of them, no glance at the door" - location: line 118 - why unpredicted: the class list line implies she could check the spelling publicly. Why coherent: the whole chapter has established her memory as too specific; the name action makes it falsifiable without a confession.

Chapter verdict: SURPRISES.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
