# Immediate Continuity Check: Chapter 02

NAMES: CLEAN — checked June Park, Theo/T. Brennan, Odile Marchetti implied through prior context, Marchetti Rooms. Near-miss: line 5 "T. Brennan" hides but does not contradict Theo Brennan in canon sheet fact 3.

TIMELINE: CLEAN — checked opening night after-hours (Thursday, September 24), email on Saturday, prep dates September 29 / October 1 / October 6 / October 13 / October 15, packet pickup Saturday before Tuesday, October 20. Near-miss: line 35 "I'm gone on the fifteenth" aligns with continuity "June's lease ends December 15."

KNOWLEDGE: CLEAN — checked June knows public fake-couple premise and boss/payroll cover but not nephew status; Theo knows nephew truth but does not state it; Odile's knowledge remains unstated. Near-miss: line 107 "On paper" makes June suspicious but not informed.

OBJECTS: CLEAN — checked class list, assignment cards, materials packet, PARK / BRENNAN label, receipt book, class binder, desk diary. Near-miss: line 149 receipt signature creates a new object-state obligation and is recorded below.

INJURIES: CLEAN — checked no injuries/deaths introduced; no body-state continuity.
