# Shared-Vocabulary Ban Conformance - Chapter 05

Cards loaded: June, Theo, Odile, Mara, Luis, Priya, Ben, Ruth, Sam. Global blacklist checked from reading guide and `output/tics.md`: breath defaults, body flips/flutters/pooling/electricity, unnamed air/tension shifts, smirk/chuckle/a beat, beauty-unawareness framing, postcard NYC, mirror epiphany, weather-as-feeling, dialogue diagnosis, and the reading-guide banned structural-weight phrase.

- ECHO-OK - `edge` / `edges` owned by June - spoken by June: `"They're the only dependable edges you've got"` (line 53) - evidence: June card owns edge/value/ground/wash/exact.
- ECHO-OK - `label` appears in June narration (`There was no label to straighten`, line 79) but not in another character's dialogue; this is plot-world vocabulary, not leakage from Theo.
- BLACKLIST nearest miss - literal weather line: `"It's going down to thirty-nine on Thursday"` (line 15). Verdict: not weather-as-feeling; practical Mara scarf extension.
- BLACKLIST nearest miss - beauty wording repaired before integration. Current line: `"made her recognizable"` (line 103), not `beautiful`.
- NEVER-SAYS nearest miss - Theo says `"That's the nicest thing anyone's said..."` (line 55). Not a sweeping romantic claim; it is task-comedy about glasses edges.
- CROSS-FAVORITE - none actionable. Shared domain words (`card`, `drawing`, `charcoal`, `partner`) are assignment vocabulary and unavoidable.

Chapter verdict: VOCAB-CONFORMS.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
