# Consequence Test - Chapter 10

- `STATE-CHANGED(self-understanding / intimacy) - scene 1 ("The wing nut on the third easel...") - type: proactive - change: Theo enters trying to be useful and exits publicly seen as someone whose usefulness replaces desire. Evidence: "I don't know... it's all maintenance" and June's canvas shows "his own station: the panel taped and white, the palette paper clean, the tube of umber with its cap on." EXIT: ON-TURN at "He found the tape roll in his pocket and put it on the table where it belonged." Weakest counter-candidate: the class could have been only exercise logistics, but the painting changes what the cohort and Theo can see about him.
- `STATE-CHANGED(intimacy / self-understanding) - scene 2 ("I didn't give you anything to paint...") - type: reactive - change: June tells him plainly that his evasion was visible, and Theo tries to answer the card alone but cannot. Evidence: "It was what you gave me" and "It did not say, what can you do correctly." EXIT: ON-TURN at "where somebody would be one chair short, and he could fix that," which carries the failure into Sonia's.

Chapter verdict: `ALL-SCENES-CHANGE`.

Weakest STATE-CHANGED scene: scene 2, because the realization risks becoming explanatory. It survives because the final action repeats the wound rather than solving it: "He tightened it anyway... where somebody would be one chair short, and he could fix that."

REVISION ORDERS: None.
