# Surprise Audit - Chapter 10

- `SURPRISES - category: striking image - THE MOVE: "Behind the hands, small but in focus, was his own station: the panel taped and white, the palette paper clean, the tube of umber with its cap on, the dry brush laid across the mouth of the jar." Location: class critique. Why unpredicted: the card leads a reader to expect a hand study or romance-coded near-touch; the move makes the background do the wound work. Why coherent: Chapters 02, 06, and 08 establish Theo as someone who controls rooms through logistics, and the chapter opens with him repairing the third easel before class.
- `SURPRISES - category: comedic non-sequitur / character revelation - THE MOVE: "Luis's thing was the oranges; he peeled them in one unbroken coil..." Why unpredicted: it is a small odd class choice instead of generic class filler. Why coherent: Luis's voice card anchors him in concrete physical acts and placement.

Chapter verdict: `SURPRISES`.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
