Design two scenes that gain power through contrast:

Context: {{story_context}}
Characters: {{characters}}
Thematic Focus: {{theme}}

Create contrasting scenes:

**SCENE A:**
- Emotional tone: {{tone_a}}
- Write the scene (2 pages)

**SCENE B:**
- Emotional tone: Opposite of Scene A
- Write the scene (2 pages)

CONTRAST ELEMENTS:

1. TONAL CONTRAST
- How do mood and energy differ?

2. SPATIAL CONTRAST
- How do locations differ?
- Open/closed, light/dark, crowded/empty

3. TEMPORAL CONTRAST
- Fast/slow pacing
- Day/night
- Duration within story time

4. RELATIONAL CONTRAST
- How do characters interact differently?

5. PLACEMENT STRATEGY
- Should they be adjacent for impact?
- Or separated with buildup between?

Explain how each scene makes the other more powerful through juxtaposition.
