# Cover-the-Names Voice Test - Chapter 01

DISTINCT - June + Theo - evidence:
- June: `"June. I hang shows. Other people's."` (27) - compact, dry, self-positioning through art labor.
- Theo: `"It clears out from the back after nine... You shouldn't have to wait for that"` (33) - logistical tenderness, practical offer.

DISTINCT - June + Odile + Theo - evidence:
- Odile: `"An hour at one wall. What did you find?"` (57) - economical, diagnostic.
- Theo: `"The corner was jammed"` (55) - practical justification.
- June: `"The scorch mark on the towel"` (59) - visual/craft-specific answer under pressure.

DISTINCT - June + Theo stockroom - evidence:
- June: `"Is it a real class? Or a retirement party with easels?"` (115) - dry warning as question.
- Theo: `"Here's what I can do. Tomorrow I tell her you had a conflict... I'll keep it boring"` (109) - logistical repair offer.

Weakest DISTINCT line considered: `"It is"` (123) could be generic, but it is response-function dialogue and surrounded by Theo's practical register.

Chapter verdict: VOICES-HOLD.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
