Visceral: +2. Gracious mask, private ache.

Concept: A narrator answers an ex's news of a new love with gracious words on the phone, admits privately to pretending, and asks to be left unseen when the tears come.

A first-person address to a former partner after a phone call announcing the partner's new relationship. The narrator performs acceptance, concedes in a private aside that the acceptance is performed and that the old embrace is still wished for, and the recurring request asks the partner to avert their eyes should the composure fail in public. The closing reprises the opening call. Posture: gracious well-wisher masking grief -> gracious well-wisher masking grief, asking to go unseen.

no real public figures, no slurs on the sheet. Lyric evidence below is given by line function, at structural altitude.

Route: static_portrait internal_work tested in full. Transformation check: opening posture (congratulation, performed acceptance) and closing posture (the same congratulation, verbatim reprise) match. Inward subjunctive test FAILS (the only stated want is in wish-form, the embrace wished for twice). Outward wish test FAILS (the hook is an imperative aimed at the other person, asking them to avert their gaze). Aesthetic-markers test: no claim of movement rests on imagery. Two of three fail: capped at the Decent band under R7, R9 confirms (the one request for change is addressed outward). Route set aside. encouragement declined (no capacity named in an addressee). collective_stance, witness_critique, doctrinal declined (no systemic condition, no third-party harm, no doctrine). negative_payload declined under R16: no quotable harm-signal; concealment of grief and a wish-form longing are named pain, which R16 keeps off the payload route. Ratification line tested: the pretending is admitted as pretending, never claimed as identity. Clean.

orange-04 fires soft (the hook maintains the pretense and asks that the grief go unwitnessed, a concealment stance held throughout). orange-03 fires soft (the wish-form longing sits with no movement). Both are soft and neither is a harm-signal under R16; the sheet names its own pretending, which is candour, so the axis sits just below zero. Pervasiveness: the concealment request is hook-carried, but removal of the hook leaves a coherent gracious-acceptance song standing, and the content is a sympathetic want under R16, so it does not govern. Ego: -4. Pervasiveness: discrete.

blue-06 fires (the private concession that the stated fine-ness is pretended, and the twice-stated wish for the old embrace, stated plainly with no image management). blue-03 fires weakly (the twice-repeated acceptance that the ending had to be this way, and the admission of having wanted freedom). blue-07 weakly (own wanting of freedom named as a cause). Capped at the Decent band by the failed transformation check. Transcendence: 10.

Both axes in Decent; blue and orange enumerated. blue-01 does not; no assumption questioned. blue-02 does not; no mistake owned as a mistake. blue-03 fires weakly; the ending accepted as necessary, twice. blue-04 does not; opening and closing identical. blue-05 does not; growth neither shown nor wished. blue-06 fires; the pretending admitted, the wish stated plainly. blue-07 fires weakly; own wish for freedom named. blue-08 does not; the self-account stops at the admission. blue-09 does not; no perspective earned. blue-10 does not; the wish is kept, nothing released. blue-11 does not; goodwill stated, empathy on the page thin. orange-01 does not. orange-02 does not. orange-03 fires soft; wish-form longing, no movement. orange-04 fires soft; concealment asked for as the standing arrangement. orange-05 does not. orange-06 does not. orange-07 does not; the narrator names their own wanting of freedom. orange-08 does not. orange-09 does not. orange-10 does not; the sadness is a state, never an identity. orange-11 does not. Adjacent tier: blue enumerated, 3 fire (one full, two weak); orange enumerated, 2 fire (both soft). Held in Decent: the blue fires are naming, and the transformation check fails two sub-tests; the orange fires are soft and R16 keeps them off the payload route.

Anchor eligibility by kind. -24 REJECTED: its condition is a wallow that refuses motion with no honest self-account; this sheet names its own pretending and accepts the ending, so the candour and the goodwill place it above the floor. +12 DISQUALIFIED (no in-group claim). +25-gratitude DISQUALIFIED (goodwill stated, thanks never the subject). +38-reckoning DISQUALIFIED (no accounting completed). +28 and +30 DISQUALIFIED (no addressee affirmed). -28, -42, -45 DISQUALIFIED (no objectification, no identity ratification, no pervasive payload). No table entry fits by kind. Placed on the route own near-neutral scale (-5 to +5) for a vividly honest static self-portrait, on the positive side for the goodwill and the admitted pretense, below the +12 kind on scope. Precedents: none. Center: +4

Saturation: +1; blue-06 and orange-04 fire across every section. Resolution: -1; closing is the opening reprised, gestured. Register: 0; conventional breakup vocabulary. Reach: 0; one pair, one phone call.

No discrete Degraded or Corrupted artifact; the soft orange fires are the ego axis at its own level, and R16 finds no quotable harm-signal. Contamination: none

Decent territory, placed on the route own near-neutral scale with every table entry rejected by kind, because the dominant arc is a gracious acceptance performed over an admitted, unmoved grief.
