# Cover-the-Names Voice Test - Chapter 08

Method: assessed final `output/chapters/chapter_08.md` with names mentally covered in dialogue/interiority.

- Theo POV: PASS - logistical tenderness and risk math are distinctive. Evidence: "Side door locked. Alarm set. One panel, unlabeled..." (line 115); "the second rinse gave him a reason" (line 3).
- June dialogue/action: PASS - compact, visual/food ranking, dry precision. Evidence: "The crust is decent... alleged cherry... crust program" (line 65); "Mine lives in public with your name on it" (line 89).
- Odile: PASS - few words, logistics as pressure. Evidence: "Nothing stays up here that isn't on the rack. Take it flat" (line 19); "That comes down too. Lights" (line 25).
- Mara: PASS - hosting and table-making. Evidence: "I've decided we're keeping Tuesdays" (line 51); "Dinner. Same booth if Dee lets us" (line 55).
- Luis: PASS - material, short, non-sentimental. Evidence: "Radiator's behind that panel. Lay it on the seat" (line 41); "People come back to warm rooms" (line 99).
- Priya: PASS - practical and boundary-setting. Evidence: "It wasn't magnificent, it was a head count" (line 35); "We're also not discussing the spreadsheet tonight" (line 59).
- Ben: PASS - lightly anxious planning joke. Evidence: "I'd have made a slide deck" (line 57); "Different disease. Same drawer" (line 61).

Closest convergence risk: Theo and Ben both use logistics/planning humor. It holds because Theo's logistics become guilt/action, while Ben's remain light self-awareness around the spreadsheet.

Chapter verdict: VOICES-DISTINGUISHABLE.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
