Anonymous read: scored on the page, artist set aside. Visceral: -18, sour dismissive kiss-off. Dominant arc: the narrator pushes away someone whose anger turns belittling, refusing to see them again and bracing for the same pattern to recur, with no self-examination. Route: static_portrait -- the narrator holds a fixed dismissive stance and never moves; the harm present is reactive grievance, not ego-service or contempt as an engine. Harm axis: orange-07 (external blame, zero accountability) and a mild put-down run through the hook, but the narrator occupies the mistreated position (R5(b): describing the other's harmful pattern), so the put-down does not escalate to diss or contempt and R13's strip test leaves only a grievance about being devalued. Value about -20, not pervasive in the objectification or contempt sense. Transcendence axis: 0, no internal work, witness, or encouragement. Precedent placement: governing axis harm; placed just weaker (less negative) than the -24 Decent-floor wallow because mild outward blame sits atop an otherwise static withdrawal, yet the dysfunction is reactive and never ratified as identity, so it does not reach the -42 self-directed-dysfunction archetype. Center -20. Vernier vs -24: saturation -1 (harm fires sparsely), resolution +1 (the kiss-off closes decisively in its loop), register -1 (highly repetitive, derivative), reach 0 (intimate one-to-one). Contamination: none (harm governs the read; nothing higher to undermine). Verdict: Decent territory, weaker than -24, because the song is a wounded, dismissive withdrawal with outward blame and no movement. Reconciliation: aligned.
