As a Creative Writing Coach, help me integrate flashbacks effectively.

Present scene context: {{present_context}}
Flashback content: {{flashback_content}}
Purpose of flashback: {{purpose}}

Design seamless flashback integration:

1. TRIGGER: What in the present naturally evokes the past?
   - Sensory trigger (sight, sound, smell)
   - Emotional trigger (feeling, situation)
   - Object trigger (physical item)

2. TRANSITION IN: Write three options for entering the flashback
   - Hard cut
   - Sensory dissolve
   - Thought bridge

3. FLASHBACK SCENE: Key elements to include/exclude

4. TRANSITION OUT: How to return with impact

5. PRESENT IMPACT: How the flashback changes the now

Provide a sample execution with annotations.
