# Immediate Continuity Check - Chapter 07

NAMES: CLEAN - checked: June Park, Theo Brennan, Mara/Luis Valdez, Priya Nair/Ben Adler, Ruth Kim/Sam Rivera, Odile Marchetti. Closest near-miss: "THEO BRENNAN... two Ns" (line 118) vs canon fact #3 Theo Brennan; matches.

TIMELINE: CLEAN - chapter is Tuesday, November 3, Week 3, one week after Ch05 and five days after Ch06. Chapter quote: assignment card "TUESDAY THREE" (line 1); tracker quote: timeline row Ch07 "Tuesday, November 3... Week 3 memory portrait." Closest near-miss: "studio took until eight to warm up" (line 12) is temperature/time texture, not a date contradiction.

KNOWLEDGE: CLEAN - June knows Theo's glasses/collar/mouth/lean from Ch05 and gallery walk; she does not know eye color ("the file had no entry", line 60); she does not know nephew relation. Closest near-miss: June writes the surname without checking (line 118), licensed by enrollment/class list exposure, not new hidden knowledge.

OBJECTS: CLEAN - Mara's black scarf remains with June (line 12); Week 2 blind contour remains rolled in June's tote (line 42); Theo's Ch07 panel leaves the communal rack with Theo (line 112); June's Theo panel goes on communal rack face-out (line 118). Closest near-miss: the Ch06 route card is absent, correctly not replayed.

INJURIES: CLEAN - no injuries introduced. Closest near-miss: Priya's food check ("Did you eat?", line 52) is care-move continuity, not a health/injury clock.

## Contradictions found

None.

## New facts introduced

- facts introduced: Week 3 uses postcard-sized gessoed paper boards and acrylic gouache; no model/photo/looking allowed; if a student looks, Odile restarts them.
- character state changes: June's visual memory of Theo is now public artifact; Theo has also memorized June's scarf knot, stance, and blanked hair side.
- object locations: June's portrait of Theo is on the communal rack face-out; Theo's portrait/study of June is covered with newsprint and kept off the rack by Theo.
- injuries/deaths: none.
- promises made: Mara extends scarf custody through November; no formal promise from June.
- unresolved mysteries: why Theo keeps the panel private; what Odile will do with the public evidence; how the cohort reads the increasing specificity.
- planted seeds: S-PORTRAIT-01 begins on page; S-MEMORY-02 pays off; clementine care setup/payoff closes locally.
- payoff targets: Theo's hidden study to Ch08/Ch23/Ch27; memory portrait pressure to Ch08 social debt.

## New promises or compacts

- Implied compact: Theo supplies the missing fact ("They're gray. For the record.", line 84) without asking June to explain why she did not know it.
- Implied compact: June labels and racks the painting instead of scratching out the name.

## Continuity log additions

- Ch07 / Week 3: Odile assigns memory portraits back-to-back with kraft screens: "Paint your partner from memory. No model. No photo. Leave in what you do not know."
- June paints Theo from memory using Ch05/Ch06 details: glasses lean, brown sweater collar, mouth set, shoulder drift; she leaves eye color blank/gray because she truly does not know it.
- Theo paints June's scarf knot, door-angled feet, and a blank where the scarf always covered her hair; he keeps this panel off the communal rack under newsprint.
- June writes THEO BRENNAN on the back of her panel without checking the class list and racks it face-out; Priya's clementine care move is accepted at close.
- S-MEMORY-02 status should change to paid; S-PORTRAIT-01 status should change from planned to planted in Ch07.

Verdict: CLEAN.
