# Tension-Naming Conformance - Chapter 06

Card-named tension: gentle scrutiny that still exposes; public couple performance in an art-looking context; Ruth's professional-impropriety misread.

- CONFORMS - gentle scrutiny. Evidence: cohort treats June/Theo as ordinary unit (`You two take this wall`; `Together? One cup or two?`) without cruelty.
- CONFORMS - exposure. Evidence: June's `We don't live together` and Ruth's `who can she tell who isn't you?` expose the cost of assumed couplehood.
- CONFORMS - art-looking context. Evidence: lithographs, Vestibule paintings, frame-shop samples, sightline rulings.
- CONFORMS - Ruth misread. Evidence: `boss's class`, `your gallery`, `unlock the building`, `hold the supply tins`.

Chapter verdict: TENSION-NAMED-AND-ENACTED.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
