As a Creative Writing Coach, design the crucial midpoint of your story.

Setup (Act 1): {{act_1_summary}}
Central conflict: {{conflict}}
Protagonist: {{protagonist}}

Construct a powerful midpoint that:

1. MIRRORS THE ENDING
- What false victory or defeat occurs?
- How does it preview the final confrontation?
- What truth is glimpsed but not grasped?

2. SHIFTS FROM REACTIVE TO PROACTIVE
- How was protagonist responding before?
- What makes them start driving action?
- What decision changes everything?

3. RAISES STAKES PERMANENTLY
- What loss or gain cannot be undone?
- What commitment is made?
- What bridge is burned?

4. REVEALS NEW INFORMATION
- What changes the characters understanding?
- What was hidden that emerges?
- How does the problem become more complex?

Provide the midpoint in three formats:
- One-sentence logline
- Three-paragraph summary
- Full scene outline
