# Chapter 24 Earned Test - Current Text

PASS - public acceptance is earned by partial reading, not instant forgiveness. Evidence: the room has mixed responses at L25; only Ruth names the visible truth at L51-L57.

PASS - portrait payoff is earned by prior consent terms. Evidence: June chooses to turn it at L93-L97, sees the exact painting at L99-L101, and returns it faced to the brick at L103-L105.

PASS - Odile reveal is earned by object history. Evidence: after-hours sheet L115, label correction callback L121, and June's ethical naming L129.

PASS - romance ending is earned by boundaries before kiss. Evidence: Theo's no-carry correction at L157, June's agreement at L159, and the short kiss on June's terms at L161.

PASS - June staying for herself remains earned. Evidence: no rescue, cold sweater/money at L155-L161.

Chapter verdict: `EARNED`.

REVISION ORDERS: none.
