# Consequence Test - Chapter 18

id: consequence_test | owner: codex | target: `output/chapters/chapter_18.md`

- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / self-understanding / object-state) - scene 1 ("On Wednesday June washed Mara's scarf...") - type: reactive - change: June converts rupture into domestic action: the scarf is cleaned, the eight catalogs are boxed for a non-Theo return route, and the Week 7 empty-chair condition is acknowledged.`
  - Want: avoid Theo and avoid class while controlling return obligations. Evidence: `"The post office on Greenpoint Avenue opened at nine"` and `"Theo texted... *Okay. No chair.*"`
  - Resistance: cohort warmth and public flyer circulation enter the apartment. Evidence: `"Forty of those existed. Some were now in laundromats."`
  - Exit condition: phone exiled to the bad kitchen outlet after Theo asks nothing back. Evidence: `"She plugged the phone in by the stove... where it charged badly, and went to bed."`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN`.
- `STATE-CHANGED(self-understanding / commitment) - scene 2 ("Thursday was Thanksgiving...") - type: reactive - change: June makes the first leaving-side studio study and holds the Tasker email in drafts rather than answering from rupture.`
  - Evidence: `"This was the room as one person left it"` and `"selected the second question, and deleted it."`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN`.
- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / social obligation) - scene 3 ("Friday she primed two more sheets...") - type: proactive - change: June keeps Asha's Kessler spot alive, deepens the leaving studies, and pays the cost of skipping Mara's dinner in action rather than explanation.`
  - Evidence: `"*Hold my Kessler spot,* June wrote back"` and `"the phone facedown beside the bowl."`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN`.
- `STATE-CHANGED(object-state / relationship) - scene 4 ("Saturday she de-pilled the scarf...") - type: reactive-to-proactive - change: June reinterprets Theo's exact scarf drawing as contamination and schedules the scarf return with Mara.`
  - Evidence: `"Now the exactness bothered her more than a mistake would have"` and `"*Can I drop it by this weekend?*"`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN`.
- `STATE-CHANGED(intimacy / social obligation) - scene 5 ("Sunday was bright and ordinary...") - type: proactive - change: June returns Mara's scarf but leaves with food, an owed dish, and an unresolved Tuesday invitation.`
  - Evidence: `"Mara smoothed the fold..."`, `"Bring it Tuesday. Sit by me"`, and `"I don't know about Tuesday."`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN` - the scene closes on the route home, not a resolved conversation.
- `STATE-CHANGED(commitment / self-understanding / object-state) - scene 6 ("She painted the last two studies...") - type: reactive - change: the five studies become a suppressed leaving-side answer; Tasker remains unanswered; one nail hole is physically repaired.`
  - Evidence: `"Pinned up, they could become another thing in a window"`, `"watched it blink until the screen dimmed"`, and `"She filled the first nail hole."`
  - `EXIT: ON-TURN`.

Chapter verdict: `ALL-SCENES-CHANGE`.

Weakest STATE-CHANGED scene: scene 3, because much of its change is preparatory. It survives because June's Kessler hold is an external obligation to Asha and the dinner avoidance is paid by visible action.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
