# Consequence Test — Chapter 20

id: consequence_test | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_20.md`

- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / self-understanding) — scene 1 ("On Thursday morning June took the receipt out from under the mineral spirits jar") — type: reactive — change: June moves from refusing the arithmetic to facing the two pages as a decision problem; the turn registers at "It was still good. That was the entire problem with the left page" and "the left page won. The left page won on every line." EXIT: ON-TURN, because the scene exits into the Sam/Mara text that forces outside contact.`
- `STATE-CHANGED(intimacy / commitment) — scene 2 ("They came up at 10:40") — type: reactive — change: June accepts Ruth/Sam help without accepting advice, sends the catalogs away by a non-Theo route, and recommits to Mara/Tuesdays; quoted turn: "Actually, no. Tell Mara I'm bringing the dish myself Tuesday" and "We have a car" / "And a hand truck if you need it." EXIT: ON-TURN; the close on the floor by the door and blue dish shelf is the consequence, not overrun.`
- `STATE-CHANGED(power / commitment / social standing) — scene 3 ("Asha called back at 4:05") — type: proactive — change: Asha consents to be recommended for Tasker and June accepts the Kessler/Dana route; quoted turn: "Yes. Send it" and "Second thing is I'm in. Dana's room, the wall share, Kessler." EXIT: ON-TURN; the right-page dates are the actionable exit.`
- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / self-understanding / power) — scene 4 ("Friday she was awake at 6:10") — type: reactive into proactive — change: June deletes the Tasker-wall draft, refuses Nia's good offer, preserves professional respect, and transfers Tasker attention toward Asha; quoted turn: "I'm calling to say no," "I'd still be the person with keys," and "Send you someone good." EXIT: ON-TURN; "The clean answer was gone" is consequence, not summary padding.`
- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / danger) — scene 5 ("She did the rest before it could cool") — type: proactive — change: June turns the no into irreversible logistics: alerts Asha, files W-9, commits to Dana, gives notice, fills "FEB = coat," and hangs a study; quoted turn: "Text to Dana... I'll take the key Jan 2," "She sent it," and "put the study up on her own wall." EXIT: ON-TURN; the final back-of-hand crating note opens the next risk.`

Weakest state-change: scene 1, because it is internal and arithmetic-heavy. It survives because the chapter moves from avoidance ("the spread she'd been avoiding") to a page-specific, quoted dilemma that triggers the Ruth/Sam and Asha calls.

Chapter verdict: `ALL-SCENES-CHANGE`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
