# Shared-Vocabulary Ban Conformance: Chapter 03

NEVER-SAYS: none found. Checked romance abstractions, destiny/muse/soulmate/perfect/journey, and fake-couple trope lampshading in dialogue/interiority.

LEAKAGE: none found. Owned terms stay character-bound: June uses visual/craft terms (`line`, `weight`, `ugly-decent`); Theo uses route/keys/stubs; Priya uses body-condition check; Ben uses timing/buffer; Ruth uses editorial action; Sam uses room/space.

BLACKLIST: no protected forbidden phrase hits for breath/air/smirk/chuckle/flutter, `Winter Kitchen`, snow, postcard NYC, jealousy, mirror epiphany, or weather-as-feeling.

CROSS-FAVORITE: `look/looking/looked` appears across speakers/narration, but this is the assignment's governing verb and Odile's domain term, not vocabulary leakage. `standing/stood` also recurs because the exercise is literally standing/modeling.

Nearest misses:
- Odile's uncontracted forms at lines 53, 77, 115, 125 are licensed by her formal precision.
- Ben's "budgeted/spent" line is his logistics voice, not June narration after repair.

Chapter verdict: VOCAB-CONFORMS.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
