- WHAT'S INSIDE
- Hook: Where your two leads first collide. The wound is established before the war begins.
- Plot Turn 1: The inciting conflict that locks them into the same orbit — whether they want it or not.
- Pinch Point 1: External pressure tightens. The antagonist (or world) reminds them both what they stand to lose.
- Midpoint: The shift. Not a kiss — a crack. The moment one of them begins to suspect the other might not be the villain they needed.
- Pinch Point 2: Everything fractures. The betrayal, real or perceived, that makes reconciliation feel impossible.
