# Chapter 21 Earned Test

- `BUILT — "I need you to tell me it wasn't my fault." — foundation trace: Ch14 catalog loan arms the harm; Ch17 rupture makes Theo's care move evidence of asymmetry; Ch19 shows Theo publicly unable to fix June's absence; Ch21 opens with "none of the route was him" and the careful catalog handling before Theo asks for absolution.`

- `BUILT — "I'm done being the route." — foundation trace: Theo has repeatedly handled keys, labels, frames, routes, and class logistics; Ch14 specifically makes him the catalog route; Ch17 turns that route into harm; Ch21's loan-sheet and returned-catalog action bring the pattern into one object.`

- `BUILT — "painted side faced to the wall..." — foundation trace: Ch07/Ch08 establish the hidden Week 3 study as off-rack and consent-problematic; Ch17 makes unilateral handling of intimate truth harmful; Ch21 revises the portrait's door/hair errors before refusing delivery.`

- `BUILT — "Can we talk? Sonia's. You pick the day and time and I'll be there." — foundation trace: Ch17 June refuses repair tasks; Ch18/Ch20 keep June's life moving off Theo's control; Ch21 has Theo delete a management caveat before sending a bounded ask.`

Chapter verdict: `EARNED`.

`REVISION ORDERS`: none.
