# Ending Quality Audit - Chapter 08

Ending assessed: lines 109-117, stockroom storage and alarm close.

- CRITERION action/consequence close: PASS - Theo preserves the study faced to the wall and sets the alarm. Evidence: "stood it among them, painted side to the wall" (line 113); "He set the alarm" (line 117).
- CRITERION no summary/stillness-only ending: PASS - the final line names obligation after the material action; it does not replace the action.
- CRITERION earned image: PASS - the faced-to-wall storage pays the chapter card and seeds the later consent-governed portrait without exposing June.
- CRITERION no profundity stamp: PASS with watch - "went home owing everyone" is abstract-adjacent, but it lands after the closing checklist and is the precise consequence of the Sonia's table. It is not a freestanding aphorism.

Chapter verdict: ENDING-EARNS.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
