# Shared-Vocabulary Ban Conformance - Chapter 13

Cards loaded: June, Theo, Odile, Mara, Priya, Ben, Ruth, Sam, Nia. Global blacklist loaded from reading guide/tics: breath-holding, flips/flutters, air changed/shifted, smirk/chuckle, "a beat," beauty-unawareness, cheap misunderstanding, mirror epiphany, weather-as-emotion, load-bearing variants, dialogue/narration wording-delivery commentary.

- ECHO-OK - "Fine" - June uses it as a pressure deflection: "`Fine,' June said." Mara later says "It's fine. Priya can crop." Deliberate social-pressure echo; not an owned-word leak.
- BLACKLIST checked - no hits for breath/flutters/air changed/smirk/chuckle/a beat/load-bearing/weather-as-emotion. Nearest miss: "The signal turned green" is traffic action, not weather emotion.
- NEVER-SAYS checked - June avoids destiny/muse/magical/perfect; Theo avoids sweeping claims and art-oracle language; Odile avoids cozy whimsy; Ruth avoids fake-couple lampshading. Nearest miss: Theo's "subject that can hold both of us" is practical composition language, not polished romance.
- LEAKAGE checked - no character uses another's exclusive card vocabulary in a blurring way. Nearest miss: Priya's "workable" is card-owned and appears in Mara's "windows are still workable"; however Mara is describing photo conditions in a group logistics context, not adopting Priya's diagnostic voice.
- CROSS-FAVORITE checked - no non-domain content word appears in 3+ mouths in a way that blurs voice. Shared domain terms ("room," "panel," "subject") are unavoidable class terms.

Chapter verdict: `VOCAB-CONFORMS`.

REVISION ORDERS: update `output/tics.md` with Chapter 13 WATCH counts after commit.
