# Cover-the-Names Voice Test - Chapter 17

id: voice_cover_names | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_17.md`

- `JUNE-IDENTIFIABLE — visual/procedural interiority` — `"the next procedure when a measurement held"` and `"put the pencil down parallel to the card"` are painter/installer exactness, not generic anger.
- `JUNE-IDENTIFIABLE — pressure speech` — `"That was mine to decide. You did my math for me and kept the answer."` uses compact precision and converts Theo's own terms into refusal.
- `THEO-IDENTIFIABLE — logistics before feeling` — `"I'll tell her tomorrow morning... You keep the slot... I'll move the pair into storage..."` is Theo's care-as-work reflex under shame.
- `THEO-IDENTIFIABLE — plain confession after logistics fail` — `"I was scared you'd stop coming"` matches voice card: practical offer first, then plain emotional admission.
- `VOICE-DIFFERENCE-CLEAR` — June's lines cut and classify; Theo's lines explain, qualify, and offer.
- `RISK-CLEARED — no shared cleverness` — the strongest dry lines belong to June; Theo's best lines are factual and apologetic, not witty.

Chapter verdict: `VOICE-COVER-PASSES`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
