# Reaction-Divergence Test - Chapter 07

STIMULUS line 14: Odile explains no-looking memory assignment - reactors: June, Mara, class
- DIVERGES - Mara: "Can we talk to them?" (line 16) -> social clarification; card-match yes (fills gaps / social fluency). June: squeezes palette and plans a "safe man" (lines 20-22) -> private visual strategy; card-match yes (gets precise and self-protective). Class: brush noise becomes loud (line 20) -> collective tension; earned unison because the screens make sound the shared register.

STIMULUS lines 46-50: Ben looks and Odile restarts him - reactors: Ben, Odile, Priya, June/room
- DIVERGES - Ben: "It was two seconds" -> procedural defense, card-match yes; Odile: "Now you know less. Again" -> unsentimental teaching, card-match yes; Priya: pivots to clementines / "Did you eat?" -> body-condition care, card-match yes; June/room: "kept its brushes busy" -> tactful avoidance, card-match yes for June's observation.

STIMULUS lines 68-86: reciprocal portraits reveal attention - reactors: June, Theo
- DIVERGES - June: deflects with craft joke ("I'd have asked for flattering", line 76) then states the fact ("It's the one I had", line 82); Theo: supplies practical correction ("They're gray. For the record", line 84) and keeps looking; both card-matched and non-identical.

STIMULUS lines 88-100: critique walk - reactors: Odile, Luis, Priya, Mara, June
- DIVERGES - Odile diagnoses work and orders action; Luis steps back and states material fact; Priya claims and dismisses the eyebrow; Mara asserts scarf custody; June later executes the scrape. Closest convergence candidate was the repaired short-line cluster; Dialogue Doctor round 2 verified it no longer converges.

Chapter verdict: REACTIONS-DIVERGE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
