# Set-Piece / High-Leverage Scene Audit - Chapter 19

Verdict: SET-PIECE-HOLDS.

## High-Leverage Promise

The first public class after rupture must make absence visible without exposition.

## Execution Evidence

- The visible error: one stool, two jars, one empty half.
- The public barometer: everyone counts before anyone asks.
- The pressure turn: Luis and Mara make it impossible for Theo to keep the stool half-on/half-off the line.
- The scene-level image: Odile moves Theo to June's side.
- The object consequence: the joint ground is racked with a stain on the empty half and a clean jar waiting below it.

## Anti-Default Check

The chapter avoids a public confession, a cohort tribunal, or an Odile lecture. The set piece is built from class mechanics.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
