Story buildup: {{buildup}}
Central conflict: {{conflict}}
Protagonist transformation: {{transformation}}

Construct the climax:

1. CONVERGENCE
- How do all plot threads come together?
- What forces protagonist to face everything at once?
- Why must this happen now?

2. CHOICE ARCHITECTURE
- What impossible choice must be made?
- What must be sacrificed?
- How does choice reveal character growth?

3. CONFRONTATION DESIGN
- Who or what is directly faced?
- How does inner conflict manifest externally?
- What truth must be spoken or enacted?

4. TRANSFORMATION DEMONSTRATION
- How does the new self prove itself?
- What could old self not do that new self can?
- What is the cost of this proof?

5. AFTERMATH
- What is immediately different?
- What is lost and gained?
- What new status quo emerges?

Write the climax in outline, then as a 500-word scene.
