Design a B-story that thematically counterpoints the A-story:

A-Story: {{a_story}}
Theme: {{theme}}
Protagonist: {{protagonist}}

Create a B-story that:

1. EXPLORES THEME FROM DIFFERENT ANGLE
- What perspective on the theme does the A-story miss?
- Who can embody this alternative view?

2. B-STORY CHARACTERS
- Who carries this storyline?
- What's their relationship to the protagonist?
- What do they want?

3. INTERSECTION POINTS
- Where do A and B stories connect physically?
- Where do they connect thematically?
- How does B-story progress inform A-story choices?

4. RESOLUTION TIMING
- Does B resolve before, with, or after A?
- How does its resolution affect A-story meaning?

5. SAMPLE SCENES
- Write one B-story scene
- Write one A/B intersection scene
