how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Read from 34 comments — 14 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 14 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

- tension rail
- how much was still unresolved
- grey haze
- how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it
what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“It was super jarring seeing Will’s oxford so soon.”
