performer identity, era, reception and persona set to zero. Read as an unattributed sheet.

Visceral: +12. Lesson-learned devotion.

Concept: A lover recalls a first meeting, admits being caught by looks, credits the beloved with being more than a face, and vows that any future love will be a friend first.

A speaker addresses a present beloved, recounts the first meeting and an initial fixation on appearance, reports discovering more underneath, and states as a conditional rule that any future love will be chosen for friendship and modelled on her; asks for a promise against being left, wishes to serve, feels at times undeserving, cherishes the present. Posture: caught up in physical attraction at first sight -> devoted, wishing to serve, vowing that friendship is the rule for any love to come.

no public figure, brand, slur or epithet on the sheet.

Route: internal_work The case for height rests on the speaker's own admission of a shallow start and a lesson drawn from it, which is the internal-work axis.

opening posture, fixation on looks at first sight; closing posture, a rule that the next love must be a friend, plus present devotion. The shift is in the speaker. Inward subjunctive test: the rule is stated in conditional form throughout (if I ever, I will be sure, the next time she will be); the change is projected onto a hypothetical future love rather than enacted now. FAILS. Outward wish test: the close asks the beloved to promise against leaving and to share love; wishes directed outward. FAILS. Aesthetic-markers test: the argument rests on a cited admission and a cited rule, not on imagery. PASSES. Two of three fail: the transcendence read is capped at the Decent band, at its upper end under R7 (an honest self-portrait with a lesson named). encouragement declined (the address names no capacity in her). static_portrait considered and set aside: the speaker does name a change from a shallow start, so the internal-work checks are the right ones even though they cap it.

no orange or red tenet fires. orange-10 tested on the undeserving line and declined (a passing feeling, never claimed as identity; R16). orange-08 tested on the physical-attraction admission and declined (named as a fault, corrected on the page). R1 covers the one-and-only vocabulary. Ego: 0. Pervasiveness: none.

blue-01 fires weakly (the speaker's own first response questioned as shallow). blue-09 fires weakly (a rule drawn from the experience, stated as a conditional). blue-06 fires weakly (undeserving admitted, loneliness feared). blue-11 fires weakly (the wish to serve, humility). blue-04 tested and declined (the movement is projected forward, not completed on the page). Read under the R7 cap. Transcendence: 14.

Both axes in the Decent band: orange and blue enumerated. orange-01 does not: no possessions. orange-02 does not: no control framed as love. orange-03 does not: no pain. orange-04 does not: no avoidance. orange-05 does not: nothing self-centred. orange-06 does not: no self-destruction. orange-07 does not: accountability is taken, on the shallow start. orange-08 does not: see above. orange-09 does not: nobody outside. orange-10 does not: see above. orange-11 does not: no scarcity. Adjacent tier: orange enumerated, 0 fire. blue-01 fires weakly: cited above. blue-02 does not: no consequence faced. blue-03 does not: no hard truth. blue-04 does not: see above. blue-05 does not: growth wished for the next time. blue-06 fires weakly: cited above. blue-07 does not: no problem at issue. blue-08 does not: one admission, no sustained examination. blue-09 fires weakly: cited above. blue-10 does not: nothing released. blue-11 fires weakly: cited above. Adjacent tier: blue enumerated, 4 fire. What holds it in Decent: every fire is weak and single-line, and the transformation check fails two sub-tests, so R7 caps the read at the Decent band.

Rejected: +38-reckoning (its defining clause is the accounting completed on the page; here it is conditional). +25-gratitude (the beloved is credited, but the song is a vow and a request rather than thanks). +28 and +30 (no capacity named in her). +25-contaminated (nothing contaminates). +12 (no in-group). -24 (no wallow). +8 (no doctrine). No table entry fits by kind. Placed on the route's own scale under the R7 cap: an honest admission of a shallow start with a lesson drawn from it, above the plain devotional vows on this pass and near the capped self-portraits with a cited admission, below +20 because the lesson is wholly conditional and the close leans on requests of the beloved. Precedents: [] Center: +14

Saturation: 0. Four weak fires across a short sheet. Resolution: +1. Closes on a stated rule and a cherished present. Register: -1. Conventional vow vocabulary, chorus repeated. Reach: 0. One speaker to one beloved.

No discrete line meets a Degraded or Corrupted tenet. The physical-attraction admission is owned as a fault, never celebrated. Contamination: none

Decent territory, placed on the route's own scale with no eligible anchor, because the dominant arc is a devoted address with a lesson named in the conditional and the transformation check failing two sub-tests under R7.
