# Complicate-Don't-Resolve Audit - Chapter 12

Trigger: sample every 2nd chapter.

## Criterion Verdicts

- Complicates romance without confession: PASS. They now hold real memories but still perform a fake public category.
- Complicates Theo art-making without solving it: PASS. His childhood drawing self is visible, but he does not make current work yet.
- Complicates June stay/leave without naming it: PASS. Her erased-wall memory deepens the art-adjacency wound without mentioning Nia/Philadelphia.
- Complicates next chapter: PASS. Ch13 now has volatile painting material.

## Verdict

PASS.
