As a Creative Writing Coach, help me add micro-tension to quiet scenes. Scene description: {{scene}} Characters: {{characters}} Underlying relationship tension: {{tension}} Generate micro-tensions through: 1. UNASKED QUESTIONS - What does each character want to know but cannot ask? - What hangs in the air unspoken? 2. PHYSICAL AWARENESS - Body language that contradicts words - Small movements carrying meaning - Spatial dynamics between characters 3. ENVIRONMENTAL FRICTION - Small irritations and discomforts - Objects that demand attention - Timing pressures 4. CONVERSATIONAL UNDERCURRENTS - Topic avoidance - Loaded pauses - Double meanings 5. READER KNOWLEDGE GAPS - What do we know that characters do not? - What do characters know that we do not? - What is everyone avoiding? Rewrite the scene with micro-tension woven throughout. Annotate each technique used.
