Ending Polarity: {{end}} (opposite)
Characters: {{characters}}
Context: {{context}}

Polarity Reversal Design:

1. OPENING STATE
- Establish clear emotional tone
- What supports this polarity?
- How do characters embody it?

2. HINGE POINT
- What single moment flips the polarity?
- Is it revelation, action, or realization?
- How sudden or gradual is the shift?

3. NEW STATE
- How does opposite emotion manifest?
- What visual/behavioral changes?
- How complete is the reversal?

4. TECHNIQUE
- Is reversal earned or shocking?
- What setup makes it inevitable?
- What makes it surprising?

5. EMOTIONAL IMPACT
- What does the audience feel?
- How does contrast heighten both emotions?

6. THE SCENE
- Write the full polarity reversal scene (2-3 pages)
- Mark the hinge point clearly
- Commit fully to both polarities
