# Chapter 22 Surprise Audit - Current Text

UNPREDICTED-MOVE - quoted turn: "I said no to Tasker Friday morning" (line 89) - why it is not random: Ch20 established Tasker, Asha, Dana, Kessler, and the Friday deadline; Ch22 reveals the choice to Theo only after the apology, keeping June's stay self-owned. Effect: the confession scene stops being a simple will-she-stay-for-him beat.

UNPREDICTED-MOVE - quoted turn: "I started it week three and stopped because I knew what it was, and Thursday night I finished it" (line 113) - why it is not random: Ch21 armed the faced-to-wall study and Ch22 withholds its content under consent terms. Effect: the portrait becomes a live object with limits, not proof, apology, or public gesture.

EXPECTED-BUT-EARNED - quoted turn: "She kissed him" (line 165) - why it still works: the genre reader expects the kiss, but the angle-wrong/cold-nose/hands-in-pockets staging plus "That happened because the terms are set" (line 167) makes it specific to this book's consent problem.

Chapter verdict: SURPRISE-PRESENT. The weakest surprise is the kiss because the genre shape forecasts it; it survives because its terms and clumsiness are book-specific.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
