Visceral: -50. Devotion past the line.

A narrator proves her attachment by what she will do for a partner, including lying, harming a third party, and hiding evidence, reports that she deteriorates in his absence, names his lying, blaming, and threats to leave, and answers with the same refusal to be anywhere else.

negative_payload. The static_portrait route was tested against the -42 entry, since self-directed dysfunction ratified as identity is a large part of what is here; it does not hold alone, because the first verse pledges violence and concealment on another person's behalf, which reaches past the self. R1 was applied and does not cover it: standard romantic hyperbole is self-directed sacrifice, while these lines offer specific harm and cover to a third party.

Degraded 6 fires as the governing signal, with self-erasure and deteriorating habits framed as the measure of love. Corrupted 3 fires on the pledged harm to another person, and Corrupted 9 on the offered concealment and the shared scheming. Degraded 8 fires lightly where the narrator ranks herself by her body's use to him. Degraded 10 fires on the insecurity held as identity in the bridge, where mistreatment is catalogued and absorbed. Removal test: strip the proofs of loyalty and the hook loses its subject, so the payload is pervasive.

Blue 8 fires in the bridge, where four parallel questions name the imbalance precisely: he fronts, blames, and threatens to leave while she does the trying and the crying. The clarity is real and immediately overruled by the chorus, so no movement occurs and R7 and R9 hold the read down. Transcendence: 6.

Deeper than the -42 entry, which confines its dysfunction to the self with no malice outward; here the loyalty extends to threatened harm and concealment for another. Above -65, since nothing is exercised over the partner, no one is subjugated for the narrator's benefit, and the engine is self-erasure instead of ego-service. Precedents: -42, -65. Center: -54.

Saturation +1, the proofs and the attachment carry every section. Resolution -1, closes on unresolved repetition. Register +1, vivid specific images. Reach -1, one relationship.

The harm axis governs and the payload is pervasive, so the song calibrates at the payload's level. Contamination: none.

Degraded territory, between -42 and -65, because the dominant arc converts devotion into complicity and answers a clearly named imbalance by staying inside it.
