# Conversation-Variety Audit - Chapter 12

Trigger: `flag:recurring-conversation`.

## Criteria

- Does this repeat the prior June/Theo dynamic without new work? NO. Unlike Ch10's sink/class exchange or Ch11's absence, this is a private memory handoff.
- Are turns varied? PASS. Water/table comic setup, Theo memory, June process memory, practical paint questions, exit joke.
- Do both speakers get plain lines? PASS. Theo: "I want you to have that one." June: "Paint the wall. The wall's the thing."
- Does banter displace stakes? PASS. The two-index-card table and water lines lower pressure without replacing the memory exchange.

## Verdict

PASS.
