# Tension-Naming Conformance Audit - Chapter 10

CARD: "engine: assignment asks for love; Theo offers labor" and "felt experience: tender discomfort."

- `DELIVERS(tender discomfort / usefulness vs desire) - scene 1 - enactment quoted: "I could clean brushes... That's a chore" and "I don't know... it's all maintenance." Sustained through the visual evidence: "his own station: the panel taped and white."`
- `DELIVERS(tender discomfort / usefulness vs desire) - scene 2 - enactment quoted: "You don't have to do anything about it" and "He tightened it anyway." Sustained through the final chair-shortage impulse.`

Chapter verdict: `DELIVERS(tender discomfort / usefulness vs desire)`.

Weakest tension stretch: the first hour of Theo painting June's hands risks becoming peaceful craft attention, but it holds because it is bracketed by "for an entire hour he had not once counted the jars" and his immediate return to refilling them.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
