# Reaction-Divergence Test - Chapter 01

STIMULUS gallery crowd blocks `Winter Kitchen` - reactors: June, Theo.
- DIVERGES - June: `folded down the corner of her program and retreated` (7) -> kind: quiet/exit; card-match yes.
- DIVERGES - Theo: reroutes the caterer/wine (13) -> kind: logistical fix; card-match yes.

STIMULUS Odile publicly offers class slot - reactors: June, Theo, Odile, red-glasses woman.
- DIVERGES - June: `"We're not—"` then truth sentence stays unsaid (79-85) -> kind: compressed protest/freeze; card-match yes.
- DIVERGES - Theo: `"Odile"` (75) -> kind: practical warning / boundary attempt; card-match yes.
- DIVERGES - Odile: `"Repair that before you leave"` (81) -> kind: command; card-match yes.
- DIVERGES - red-glasses woman: `pure civic delight` and public congratulations (83) -> kind: social amplification.

STIMULUS stockroom exit offer - reactors: Theo, June.
- DIVERGES - Theo: offers a boring conflict (109) -> kind: logistical repair.
- DIVERGES - June: sees the exit as her own pattern, then says `"Don't fix it"` (127-129) -> kind: self-recognition/commitment.

Closest-to-converging pair: both June and Theo straighten objects (`squared the stack`, `straightened a crate label`), but those actions diverge under pressure: June self-regulates; Theo repairs logistics.

Chapter verdict: REACTIONS-DIVERGE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
