# Unresolved-Threads Protection Audit: Chapter 02

- PROTECTED-HELD — thread: fake relationship public lie — strongest resolution-candidate: line 143 "Eight Tuesdays, then done... If the class needs us to be anything, it gets attendance." Why it is not resolution: it deepens the pact by giving it terms; no public truth is revealed.
- PROTECTED-HELD — thread: Theo's nephew identity — strongest resolution-candidate: lines 91-109, especially "At the opening you called her your boss" / "It's true on the payroll." Why it is not resolution: the question sharpens, but June receives only payroll truth and the family relation remains hidden.
- PROTECTED-HELD — thread: Odile knew all along — strongest resolution-candidate: line 47 "wrote PARK / BRENNAN herself" and line 117 "read it as if it had been written by a stranger of doubtful ability." Why it is not resolution: her knowledge is material and rereadable, not stated or confirmed.
- PROTECTED-HELD — thread: June's New York decision — strongest resolution-candidate: line 35 "I'm gone on the fifteenth either way." Why it is not resolution: the lease clock remains active; no Philadelphia or New York scaffolding decision exists.
- NOT-TOUCHED — thread: Theo's art-making.
- NOT-TOUCHED — thread: `After Class` subject agreement.

QUICK-TEST: 1 of 4 conflicts introduced in this chapter were resolved within their own scene — verdict: JOGGING. Same-scene resolved conflict: June asks what to bring (line 29) and Theo answers "nothing" (line 31), a logistics question. Unresolved/deepened conflicts: nontransferable slot, boss/partial-answer suspicion, Odile's knowledge.

Chapter verdict: THREADS-SAFE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
