No performer knowledge carried in. Two voices on the page, read as narrator and addressee.

Visceral: +25. Tender reframe of damage.

One partner tells a woman carrying a violent past that what survived the damage is worth more for it, praising the marks she wears as beauty; she answers by asking to be held and to be convinced that what she considers ugly is beautiful.

Route: encouragement R11 governs the dominant voice: sustained second-person address whose whole content is an appraisal delivered to the addressee about the addressee. Narrator transformation is never required on this route, so the speaker's static position is not a cap. Not internal_work (no self-examination by either voice). Not witness_critique (the violence is context, not the subject of a critique).

The rule requires specific substance carried by concrete imagery, not vague platitude. Present as substance: the past is named as the thing that produced her ("look what it made"), the broken pieces are said to hold gold, the cracks are said to hold beauty, and the marks are named as wanted rather than tolerated. That is a claim about her worth located in what she survived, and it is delivered through sustained figurative imagery rather than assertion alone. The route activates at its low end, because the dignity named is largely aesthetic (how the damage looks to him) and stops short of naming a capacity she can act from.

One discrete artifact. The second voice locates her sense of beauty entirely in her partner's appraisal, asks him to convince her of it, states that she believes him past her own judgment, and asks to be kept as his pin-up while disclaiming that she deserves it. That activates orange-10 (self-doubt as identity, resolved by another's approval rather than worked through) and touches orange-08 in the self-offered accessory framing. Removal test: cut that verse and a coherent, fuller song remains, since the chorus and first verse carry the arc unaided. So the artifact is discrete, not the dominant arc. Nothing else on the page activates a Degraded or Corrupted tenet: the violence referenced is a past inflicted on her, never celebrated, and there is no substance content, contempt, or control. Harm: -12. Pervasiveness: discrete.

blue-11 fires (empathy delivered as posture: the narrator meets her history without flinching and names it as valuable). R11 supplies the route substance above. Violet tenets stay dark: the scope is one couple, no collective condition and no universal address, and R3 blocks reading the passing divine vocabulary as anything more than vocabulary. The delivery is diluted by how the affirmation lands in the second voice, as dependence on his verdict rather than as her own standing. Transcendence: 28.

Precedents: +25-contaminated, +28. Sits between the two entries, closer to +25-contaminated. Weaker than +28, whose affirmation names an inner capacity in the listener, because this one names how her damage appears to the speaker. Comparable to +25-contaminated in structure, an arc that holds its tier while carrying a discrete degrading aside, and slightly above it on the strength and sustain of the affirmation itself. Center: +26.

- Saturation: +1. The appraisal runs through verse and chorus alike. - Resolution: 0. Closing repeats the claim, landed but unchanged. - Register: -1. The gold-in-broken-pieces figure is a familiar one. - Reach: -1. Strictly one couple.

Run independently of the placement. The harm axis settled discrete, and the read lands in Elevated territory, which can legally carry contamination. The contaminating move is the addressee's handing of her own worth to her partner's judgment, together with the request to be kept as his display piece. It undermines an arc whose whole claim is that her value is already there in what she survived. Contamination: worth outsourced to a partner's appraisal

Divine vocabulary appears twice as ordinary exclamation and thanks, with no framework asserted as true or normative. Swap test: replace with any cross-traditional phrasing and the message stands whole. Flag does not fire.

Elevated territory, between +25-contaminated and +28 and closer to +25-contaminated, because the dominant arc is a sustained affirmation of a survivor's worth carried by concrete imagery, with a discrete passage in which that worth is relocated into the speaker's approval.

Reconciliation: aligned
