# Ending Quality Audit - Chapter 11

- `LANDS - scene 1 - final lines quoted: `"One thing," Ruth said. "Dom's second line. If the ticket had said PARK, who picks up for you?" / "Depends what's broken," June said.` - what closes the beat: Ruth converts the form question into a direct question June dodges; pressure cuts on the dodge. Strongest weak candidate considered: `That was my answer for about twenty years`; it survives because it is Ruth's concrete echo, not a summary moral.
- `LANDS - chapter-final - final lines quoted: `She put the phone away... She pulled the door until the latch caught, went down past the crossword, and came out onto a street full of other people's errands, carrying nothing.` - what closes the beat: June answers the group text without correcting the false `BOTH`, stores the frames, locks the room, and exits empty-handed while the public slash remains. Pressure it cuts on: she can handle the practical errand but not the pickup question. Strongest weak candidate considered: `That part was simple, and it was hers alone`; it survives because it is bracketed by physical actions and does not close the chapter by itself.

Chapter verdict: `ENDINGS-CLEAN`.

REVISION ORDERS: None.
