# Chapter 22 Consequence Test - Current Text

STATE-CHANGED(commitment / self-understanding) - scene 1 ("The blue dish was dry by eight") - type: reactive - change: June moves from avoidance to a bounded reply to Theo's Ch21 ask. Evidence: the failed drafts ("We should probably talk, yes", "Fine", and the deleted paragraph at line 15) turn into the sent terms "`Sunday. 9. Just coffee.`" (line 19) and the action "She sent it before the hour could argue with her" (line 21). EXIT: ON-TURN at the reply plus the good-sweater choice (line 23), which projects her into the diner scene. Weakest candidate considered: the blue dish could be decor, but the open/close bookend makes it a decision object rather than atmosphere.

STATE-CHANGED(knowledge / intimacy / power / commitment) - scene 2 ("At 8:56 she was outside Sonia's") - type: reactive - change: Theo names the true wrong, June discloses that staying was already self-owned, the portrait becomes known under June's control, and `After Class` is recommitted. Evidence: "I was deciding what you got to know" (line 67), "I'm staying, Theo. It isn't for you" (line 91), "It stays where it is. Faced in... I turn it around myself" (line 127), and "Come at four. Before class. We finish *After Class*" (line 145). EXIT: ON-TURN at the four o'clock agreement and June's material terms for the shared canvas (lines 145-153). Weakest candidate considered: the check/payment beat could be small business, but "Just coffee means I buy the coffee" (line 137) materially asserts the terms June set.

STATE-CHANGED(intimacy / commitment) - scene 3 ("Outside, a delivery bike leaned against Sonia's window grate") - type: reactive - change: the first real kiss happens only after terms are set and is converted into Tuesday's practical commitment. Evidence: "She kissed him" (line 165), "That happened because the terms are set. Not instead of them" (line 167), and the final card "`TUES = 4:00 / jar stays / I turn it or it doesn't turn`" (line 177). EXIT: ON-TURN at "with the dish waiting by the door" (line 179), which hands Ch23 its next action. Weakest candidate considered: the walk home risks trailing; it survives because the dish/card action is the consequence of the kiss and the diner terms.

Chapter verdict: ALL-SCENES-CHANGE. Weakest state-change: scene 3, because it is small and domestic. It survives because the kiss changes intimacy, the terms prevent it from becoming an apology, and the final card turns emotion into the next chapter's work.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
