# Earned Test - Chapter 13

- BUILT - "`This room,' she said. 'After class.'" Foundation trace: Ch01/Ch02 establish Marchetti Rooms as the false-couple origin; Ch07/Ch10 make class paintings public artifacts; Ch12 puts June/Theo in reciprocal memory custody. The line is built by line 83: "June knew it as a place she left every week with paint under her nails and too many reasons to come back."
- BUILT - "June turned and caught Theo's jacket lapel." Foundation trace: Ch04 public cover story; Ch07/Ch08 cohort social absorption; Ch11 PARK / BRENNAN cubby pressure; Ch12 real memory exchange. The immediate chapter foundation is "Fine was going onto a flyer... PARK / BRENNAN underneath it."
- BUILT - "He still had a loaded brush in his grip and was holding burnt umber clear of Mara's scarf." Foundation trace: Theo's care mode established from Ch02 onward; Mara's scarf planted Ch03/Ch05; Ch10 makes Theo's fixing reflex emotionally central. The beat spends those foundations without announcing them.
- BUILT - "Nia Torres. *PHL board said yes...*" Foundation trace: Ch09 plants the credible Tasker printshop role, Nia's respect, Asha's New York alternative, and June's unanswered thread. The text keeps the offer formal and unresolved rather than magnifying it into melodrama.

Chapter verdict: `EARNED`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
