# Cover-the-Names Voice Test - Chapter 07

DISTINCT - Theo + June (water jars / screen exchange) - evidence: Theo, "I filled your jars... The sink line gets long after seven" (line 10) pins his practical-offer care; June, "I've made a man. Beyond that I promise nothing" (line 34) pins her self-aimed dry compression. Weakest swap candidate: "Leave them out. That's the assignment" (line 38), but it is June's visual/craft deflection and would not fit Theo's practical apology rhythm.

DISTINCT - Mara + Odile (talking rule) - evidence: Mara, "Can we talk to them?" (line 16) is social-access seeking; Odile, "You may talk. You may not describe yourself. That is also looking" (line 18) is rule-extension authority. No convergence.

DISTINCT - Ben + Odile + Priya (look violation) - evidence: Ben, "It was two seconds" (line 48) is anxious procedural defense; Odile, "You looked. Now you know less. Again" (line 50) is unsentimental teaching; Priya, "There are clementines by the sink. June. Did you eat?" (line 52) is body-condition care. Weakest swap candidate: Priya's short fragments, but food/body care pins her.

DISTINCT - Theo + June (portrait reveal) - evidence: Theo, "I couldn't get the paint to tuck" (line 74) explains practical failure; June, "I'd have asked for flattering. Accurate is fine" (line 76) deflects with visual judgment; Theo, "They're gray... For the record" (line 84) supplies a fact; June, "I left in what I don't know" (line 86) answers through the assignment.

DISTINCT - Odile + Priya + Mara + Luis (critique/cleanup) - evidence: Odile, "The cheek is an apology. Scrape it" (line 94), Luis, "Gouache dries lighter" (line 102), Priya, "I saw it. We can move on" (line 90), Mara, "June, you're keeping it through November, I've decided" (line 100). Each line uses the speaker's card: teaching diagnosis, material verdict, brisk management, warm meddling.

Chapter verdict: VOICES-HOLD. Weakest DISTINCT exchange: the critique walk at lines 88-100, because multiple speakers use short dry lines. Dialogue Doctor round 2 verifies the repaired version breaks the quip carousel; the voices hold by material source and social function.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
