Primary Emotion: {{primary_emotion}}
Characters: {{characters}}

Emotional Layering:

1. PRIMARY EMOTION
- The dominant feeling
- How it manifests in the scene

2. SECONDARY EMOTION (Undertone)
- What runs beneath the surface?
- How does it occasionally surface?
- Does it contradict or complicate the primary?

3. CHARACTER-SPECIFIC EMOTIONS
- Each character may feel differently
- How do their emotions interact?
- What emotional misunderstandings occur?

4. EMOTIONAL SHIFTS
- Does emotion change through the scene?
- What triggers shifts?
- How gradual or sudden?

5. MIXED EMOTIONS
- Where do characters feel multiple things?
- Laughing through tears
- Angry but also relieved
- Scared but excited

6. LAYERED SCENE
- Write the scene with emotional complexity
- No character should be emotionally simple
- Let contradictions show through behavior
