# Immediate Continuity Check - Chapter 13

NAMES: CLEAN - checked Nia Torres, Theo Brennan, Odile Marchetti, Mara/Luis, Priya/Ben, Ruth/Sam. Chapter: "Nia Torres." Tracker/canon: `story_bible.md` names "Nia Torres"; near-miss repaired from raw "Nia Okafor."

TIMELINE: CLEAN - checked Week 5 Tuesday, November 17, after Ch12 Monday handoff and before Ch14 catalog logistics. Chapter: "At eight, Odile rapped..." Tracker: `timeline.md` Ch13 "Tuesday, November 17... Week 5 memory paintings."

KNOWLEDGE: CLEAN - checked June knows Theo's airshaft card, Theo knows June's erased-wall card, Theo does not know the Nia offer, June still does not know nephew truth. Chapter: "Nia," June said." Tracker: `continuity.md` Ch12 "Theo does not know about Nia, Philadelphia..." Near-miss: the phone text is visible only to June.

OBJECTS: CLEAN - checked Theo's card under Sonia's rubber band, Mara's scarf, wet panels on studio rack, phone in tote. Chapter: "Theo's card, which she tucked back into the roll under Sonia's rubber band" and "Wet work stays." Tracker: Ch12 object state says Theo's card is under Sonia's rubber band with June's rolled drawings.

INJURIES: CLEAN - checked no injuries/deaths/health clocks introduced. Near-miss: "thin umber mark on June's cuff" is object/clothing state, not injury.
