Read from the page only. No creator context, no seasonal fame, no chart history enters. A first-person narrator addresses a former lover who passed his heart on a day after receiving it at the previous year's holiday. Refrains repeat a vow that this year he will give the heart to someone worthier, to spare himself more tears. Verses: he keeps his distance while admitting the ex still attracts him, half-mockingly wonders whether the ex recognizes him a year on, recalls sending his love with a sincere note, calls himself a fool, concedes a kiss now would fool him again. At a crowded gathering he hides from the ex's coldness, realizes he was a temporary comfort taken for something dependable, names the ex a disguised lover who tore him apart, claims to have found real love, swears he will not be fooled again. The outro loops: he wants someone who returns love, recalls the ex holding and burning his heart, asks how the ex could love him for one day, and trails off on the unfinished redirect vow.

Visceral: -6 Mild ache with a self-protective edge. The wound is fresh in every refrain and the pull of the old flame survives the vow. Slightly below neutral.

Concept: A jilted lover's wary vow to offer a once-discarded heart to a worthier partner, the pull of the old flame still alive. Head noun: vow. The rest of the sentence describes the vow (wary, redirective) and the attraction that persists beside it.

One held state: a jilted narrator, burned once, restating a future-tense resolve to give his heart elsewhere while still drawn to the person who discarded it. The verses add self-recognition (fool, would be fooled again) and a claim of new love, but the outro returns to the ex and to the unfinished promise. Posture: wounded by a heart thrown away a day after it was given, resolved to redirect it -> the same resolve still unfinished and still circling the one who threw it away

Route: static_portrait internal_work ruled out: the redirect is stated in future and wish form, never carried out on the page, and the outro reverts to the ex. R7 would cap at Decent in any case. No negative_payload: grief, wariness and wanting returned love are sympathetic wants (R16).

R1: fires. Heart-giving and torn-apart idioms are standard heartbreak intensifiers; no self-erasure credit or debit. R2: does not fire as a placement; the read sits off zero on a stated mild drag, not as a fallback. R3: fires. An exclamation to god and the holiday name are vocabulary only; violet activation zero.

Grief, wariness and wanting returned love are sympathetic wants, off negative_payload; ego zero. R17: fires. The holiday referent is a date marker only; no festive or doctrinal world imported. R18: does not fire. No conferred opposition; the narrator stands against a single former partner, not a system. S1: does not fire. Read alone; no containing release in scope. S2: applied to every field. Each field names what is present: the vow, the wound, the persisting attraction. Rules: 20 enumerated, 6 fire

Ego: 0. Pervasiveness: none. Nothing serves the narrator's ego. Blaming a betrayer for a real betrayal is accurate, not refusal of accountability; the distance he keeps is self-protection. Transcendence: 10. Low credit for brief self-recognition (calling himself foolish, admitting he would be fooled again) and a forward intention to choose a partner who returns love. No completed movement.

The hard truth (he was a temporary comfort) is named, then the outro returns to the ex. blue-04: does not fire. The outro reverts to the starting state; no visible movement. blue-05: does not fire. Growth is wished for in future tense, never demonstrated. blue-06: fires. He exposes that a kiss would fool him again and that the ex still draws him. blue-07: does not fire. His role is limited to misjudgment; the problem is the ex's betrayal. blue-08: does not fire. Self-examination is brief and does not extend inward. blue-09: does not fire. The claim of real love found is asserted, not earned on the page. blue-10: does not fire. Letting go is future tense; the attachment is still visible at the close. blue-11: does not fire. No forgiveness, empathy or humility toward the ex. orange-01: does not fire. No surface markers as aspiration. orange-02: does not fire. No manipulation framed as love. orange-03: fires at low weight. The wound circles through repeated refrains, but the ache is aimed at the ex and paired with a resolve. orange-04: does not fire. The distance is self-protection after betrayal, not numbing. orange-05: does not fire. No ego elevation. orange-06: does not fire. No self-destruction framed as strength. orange-07: does not fire.

A worthier partner is assumed to exist; no scarcity worldview. Adjacent tier: blue and orange enumerated, 3 fire Held out of Elevated because the posture holds and the redirect never happens on the page.

Kept: -8-longing. Devotion held toward someone who discarded it, one state held; R16 keeps the want off payload. Rejected: +5 (no held bond or kept promise; the new love is one line). -24 (a forward vow exists, so no wallow). +38-reckoning (the accounting is never completed). -42 (nothing ratified as identity). Precedents: -8-longing Center: -5 Stronger than -8-longing on the self-protective vow and the brief self-recognition.

sat +1: the wound repeats across many refrains. res -1: the redirect vow loosens the hold slightly. reg -1: stock heart-giving idiom, repetitive. reach 0: intimate one-to-one, like the precedent. Contamination: none Dogma: false. Swap the holiday for any date and the message stands. Intoxicated: false.

Decent territory, stronger than -8-longing, because the jilted narrator holds one wounded state with lingering attraction while vowing, in future tense, to give the heart to someone who will value it. Reconciliation: aligned
