Visceral: +8. Regretful, proverb-consoled.

Concept: A narrator lies awake beside a partner grown distant, questions what he failed to say, and after the split hears she has someone new, resting the loss on a proverb about beauty and its sting.

A first-person account of a relationship's end, told from a silent shared bed, through a radio aside, to the news that the former partner has someone new. The narrator questions his own words, names his own silence as the cause the love was lost, describes a scar that stays, and closes each section on a borrowed proverb that makes the wound universal. Posture: lying awake questioning his own words -> cut by her news, resting on the proverb.

no real public figures, no slurs on the sheet. Evidence given by line function.

Route: internal_work The case for height rests on the narrator's self-examination: he asks whether his own words or acts caused the distance, and he locates the loss in his own failure to speak. Transformation check. Opening posture: silent, questioning, beside a partner grown distant. Closing posture: hearing she has someone new, cut by it, the proverb offered as explanation. Inward subjunctive test FAILS: the accountability is carried in conditionals (could have saved it, if he had known what to say, if he could have let her know). Outward wish test: passes, no imperative to the other. Aesthetic-markers test FAILS: the closing rests on a proverb and the scar image, dignified resignation in place of a cited change. Two of three fail: transcendence capped at the Decent band under R7; R9 confirms (vividness and honesty are not movement). static_portrait considered as the alternative: the self-examination is a real strand, so internal_work governs, capped. encouragement, collective_stance, witness_critique, doctrinal declined. negative_payload declined under R16: named pain and regret, no quotable harm-signal. Ratification line tested: the proverb generalises the wound; the narrator does not call the dysfunction home or identity. Clean.

orange-03 fires soft (the scar that stays, the pain still felt, dwelt in without movement); orange-11 fires soft (the proverb as a worldview in which love always wounds). Both discrete: removal leaves a coherent regretful self-questioning song. R16: sympathetic grief, no payload. Ego: -3. Pervasiveness: discrete.

blue-01 fires (own words and acts questioned as the cause). blue-07 fires (own silence named as what lost the love, no blame placed on her). blue-06 fires (exposed: torn up, cut by seeing her). blue-03 weakly (the scar accepted as remaining). blue-08 weakly. Capped at the Decent band by the failed transformation check. Transcendence: 14.

Both axes in Decent; blue and orange enumerated. blue-01 fires; own words and acts questioned as cause. blue-02 does not; the fault is named in conditional form, never owned as an act. blue-03 fires weakly; the scar accepted as staying. blue-04 does not; opening regret, closing regret. blue-05 does not; no growth shown or claimed. blue-06 fires; torn up, cut, stated plainly. blue-07 fires; own silence named, no external blame. blue-08 fires weakly; the questioning is honest and brief. blue-09 does not; the proverb is borrowed, attributed to what people say. blue-10 does not; nothing released. blue-11 does not; goodwill toward her stated only as regret. orange-01 does not. orange-02 does not. orange-03 fires soft; scar and pain dwelt in. orange-04 does not. orange-05 does not. orange-06 does not. orange-07 does not; blame kept on the self. orange-08 does not. orange-09 does not. orange-10 does not. orange-11 fires soft; love always wounds, as worldview. Adjacent tier: blue enumerated, 5 fire (three full, two weak); orange enumerated, 2 fire (both soft). Held in Decent: the blue fires are naming and conditional accounting, the transformation check fails two sub-tests, and the orange fires are soft and discrete.

Anchor eligibility by kind. +38-reckoning DISQUALIFIED: its defining clause is the accounting completed on the page; here it stays conditional. -24 REJECTED: the self-questioning and the owned silence are more than a wallow that refuses motion. +12 DISQUALIFIED (no in-group claim). +25-gratitude, +28, +30 DISQUALIFIED (no thanks, no addressee affirmed). +25-contaminated DISQUALIFIED (no discrete degrading aside). -28, -42, -45 DISQUALIFIED. No table entry fits by kind. Placed on the route own scale under the R7 cap: an honest, self-implicating static self-portrait sits in the upper half of Decent, below where +12 kind sits on scope, above the near-neutral portrait band because three blue tenets fire with evidence. Precedents: none. Center: +9

Saturation: +1; self-questioning runs through every verse. Resolution: -1; closing lands on the borrowed proverb, gestured. Register: 0; conventional rose, thorn, knife imagery. Reach: 0; one pair.

No discrete Degraded or Corrupted artifact; the soft orange fires are the ego axis at its own level and carry no harm-signal. Contamination: none

Decent territory, placed on the route own scale under the R7 cap with every table entry rejected by kind, because the dominant arc is honest self-implicating regret whose accountability stays conditional and whose closing rests on a borrowed proverb.
