As a Creative Writing Coach, write scenes with power imbalance.

Character with power: {{powerful}}
Character without power: {{powerless}}
Type of power: {{power_type}}

Write imbalance effectively:

1. VISIBLE POWER MARKERS
- How is power shown physically?
- Space and positioning
- Who waits, who moves?

2. VERBAL DYNAMICS
- Who speaks more?
- Who asks questions?
- Who can interrupt?

3. INTERNAL EXPERIENCE
- Powerless characters perception
- What they cannot say/do
- Survival strategies

4. SUBTLE RESISTANCE
- Small victories
- Hidden defiance
- Dignity preservation

5. READER ALIGNMENT
- Where is sympathy directed?
- How is the imbalance judged?
- What emotions are evoked?

Write the scene showing power imbalance through dynamics rather than explanation. Make readers feel the weight of the imbalance.
