This scene has been flagged as exposition-heavy. Rescue it:

{{exposition_scene}}

Information that must be conveyed:
{{required_information}}

RESCUE STRATEGIES:

1. CONFLICT INJECTION
- What argument could contain this information?
- Who has conflicting interpretations?

2. DISCOVERY REFRAME
- Can a character discover this rather than be told?
- What physical evidence could reveal it?

3. DRAMATIC QUESTION
- What urgent question makes this information necessary?
- How does knowing change what happens next?

4. SPLIT AND SPREAD
- Can information be divided across multiple scenes?
- What's the minimum per scene?

5. SHOW THE STAKES
- Can we witness consequences instead of hear about them?
- What scene demonstrates rather than explains?

RESCUED SCENE:
Rewrite using the most effective strategy. Maintain all required information while eliminating the feeling of exposition.
