# Surprise Audit - Chapter 05

- SURPRISES - category: character revelation / striking image - THE MOVE: `But the scarf was there, Mara's scarf, wound the way June had actually wound it, the knot off-center and the tail caught under itself, and he had gotten the knot. Three minutes, eyes up, and he had gotten the knot.` (line 97) - location: main exercise aftermath - why unpredicted: the chapter card leads the reader to expect June's drawing to reveal attention to Theo; it is less predictable that Theo's ugly drawing will catch the borrowed scarf knot, making his attention concrete without romance language. Why coherent: Theo's established care mode is exact preference/object noticing, and Ch03/Ch04 made the scarf a living care object.

- SURPRISES - category: format / reread clue - THE MOVE: `The crossed-out word... had said SUBJECT. Above it... PARTNER.` (line 39) - why unpredicted: the assignment card could have simply repeated the packet instruction; this material edit gives Odile's hidden steering another physical clue. Why coherent: Ch01-03 established Odile's cards as her covert instrument.

Chapter verdict: SURPRISES.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
