Judge opening
The ice lock finally surrenders its cipher, and Kess realizes her sister's last radio message wasn't a distress call—it was coordinates, buried in static, a breadcrumb left by someone who knew she'd be the only one stubborn enough to follow.
HUMAN:
Annie
Score: 7/10
The coordinates lead to Kess and her sister's old treehouse when they were younger. Kess's sister used go there whenever they played hide and seek. Kess knew something was hidden there.
7.0
Shared memory as anchor point works beautifully. Intimate detail about hide-and-seek creates real sisterly connection.

Score: 5/10
The old treehouse stood just where it had always been, nestled in the sturdy oak behind what used to be their house.
5.0
Safe and competent, but the emotional moment—homecoming, memory, sister—passes by untouched.
HUMAN:

Score: 5/10
Kess quickly ran outside and went into her car. The treehouse wasn't far from Kess. She drove off going well above the speed limit.
5.0
The action moves fast, but I'm not inside Kess's heart—her fear, her hope, her racing thoughts as she drives toward answers.

Score: 6/10
Kess's hands shook on the steering wheel as she pulled up to the old neighborhood.
6.0
The shaking hands show fear, but I wanted to feel *why* — what memory, what dread lives in that neighborhood?
HUMAN:
Annie
Score: 6/10
Kess NEEDED to see her sister again. It's been 2 years since Kess last saw her. Kess drove 80 mph when the speed limit was 50 mph. Kess finally arrived at the treehouse and inside was a locked box that was glowing with curiosity.
12.0 (2X FINALE)
"NEEDED" shows emotional urgency, but repetition and telling ("glowing with curiosity") dilutes the ache of two years apart.
AI:
Annie
Score: 6/10
Kess's heart was pounding as she climbed into the treehouse, her hands trembling with hope and longing. The locked box sat waiting, and even though it looked mysterious and strange, she knew her sister had left it there for her.
12.0 (2X FINALE)
The emotion is there but stays surface-level; I wanted a moment that broke my heart a little.
