As a Creative Writing Coach, help me map the emotional journey of a scene.

Scene summary: {{scene_summary}}
Character focus: {{character}}
Starting emotion: {{start_emotion}}
Ending emotion: {{end_emotion}}

Create an emotional beat map:

Beat 1: [Opening state] - How the character enters
Beat 2: [First shift] - What triggers initial change
Beat 3: [Rising/Falling] - Direction of emotional arc
Beat 4: [Peak/Valley] - Emotional extreme
Beat 5: [Resolution] - Where they land

For each beat provide:
- Internal experience (thoughts, physical sensations)
- External expression (action, dialogue, body language)
- Reader cues (what signals emotion to reader)

Include transition techniques between beats.
