Control Trajectory

A beat-by-beat chart tracking Phillip's control across all 40 beats. The shape is an opening from near-zero with sawtooth complications: Phillip starts as a stranded actor at 15, builds through rental work that produces genuine connections (Mia's school acceptance, Kikuo's friendship), peaks at 60 when he declines Korea to stay for Mia, then the unauthorized road trip and arrest crater him to 13. Act Four strips every performance away — Kikuo's death, Mia's discovery, Shinji's confession — before the shrine mirror and honest reconnection with Mia settle him at 55.
