As a Creative Writing Coach, design the B-Story that supports the A-Story.

A-Story (main plot): {{a_story}}
Potential B-Story: {{b_story}}
Theme: {{theme}}

Design effective B-Story:

1. THEMATIC REFLECTION
- How does B explore same theme differently?
- What aspect of theme does B address?
- How does B illuminate A?

2. TONAL CONTRAST/COMPLEMENT
- Does B provide relief from A?
- Or does B intensify A?
- What emotional variety?

3. STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION
- Where do A and B intersect?
- How do they affect each other?
- Do they converge at climax?

4. CHARACTER INTEGRATION
- Shared characters?
- How does B affect A-Story character?
- Different character for fresh perspective?

5. RESOLUTION RELATIONSHIP
- Does B resolve before A?
- Does B resolution enable A resolution?
- What does each prove?

Map the B-Story beats alongside A-Story beats, showing intersection points and thematic resonance.
