# Wisdom-Dispensing Mentor-Scene Audit - Chapter 08

SCENE studio interruption - elder/mentor figure: Odile; junior: Theo.

- marker 1 perfectly calibrated anecdote: ABSENT - Odile tells no story and gives no life lesson.
- marker 2 aphorism delivery: ABSENT as failure - "Nothing stays up here that isn't on the rack" (line 19) is a studio rule that becomes pressure; it is not generalized wisdom.
- marker 3 graceful reception: ABSENT - Theo does not accept a lesson; he carries the folder and refuses to examine what Odile has done (line 27).
- marker 4 everyone-leaves-improved closure: ABSENT - Theo leaves with a worse ethical burden and a hidden object, not enlightenment.
- marker 5 missing mess: ABSENT - mess ledger includes half-disposal, secret folder, partial lie to June, and final hidden custody.

Scene verdict: HUMAN.

SCENE Sonia's / cohort warmth - possible mentor drift from Luis/Mara.

- PASS - Luis's "People come back to warm rooms" (line 99) is close to advice but remains a material/social observation from his voice card and does not solve Theo's problem. Mara's standing-table announcement pressures the lie rather than dispensing wisdom.

Chapter verdict: MENTORS-HUMAN.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
