As a Creative Writing Coach, build worlds through micro-details.

World: {{world}}
Scene location: {{location}}
Character observer: {{character}}

Build world through small details:

1. EVERYDAY OBJECTS
- What items reveal culture/technology?
- What is taken for granted?
- What tells history?

2. CASUAL BEHAVIORS
- Automatic gestures and habits
- Social courtesies
- Unconscious actions

3. BACKGROUND TEXTURE
- What is happening in the margins?
- Overheard conversations
- Passing details

4. SENSORY WORLD-BUILDING
- What does this world smell like?
- Sound environments
- Textures and temperatures

5. ABSENT ELEMENTS
- What is notably missing?
- What does lack reveal?
- Contrasts with readers world?

Write a scene in this world that builds understanding through accumulated micro-details, not through exposition or explanation.
