Restraint techniques:

1. **Implication:** What can be implied rather than stated?
2. **Single detail:** One perfect detail vs. many weak ones
3. **Understatement:** Hold back to increase impact
4. **Ellipsis:** What can be left out entirely?
5. **Trust:** Believe the reader will understand

Restraint process:
- Identify what is over-explained
- Find the essential core
- Cut until it feels risky
- Test if meaning survives
- Restore only what is truly needed

Provide:
- Progressively more restrained versions
- The most restrained version that still works
- Reflection on what restraint gained
