you
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun, second person, masculine, singular (HPp2ms). |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
comes
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The context demands a verb of motion or arrival. SILEX supports this, and 'comes' better fits the narrative context than the pronoun 'you'. |
