Quick Diagnosis

  • Several scenes are charged, but the relationship arc feels static.
  • The same tension repeats without transformation.
  • You need to see what consequence carries from scene to scene.

Arc Tracker

Pairing / story section:
Scene 1: start, end, change, carried consequence:

Pattern problem: too fast / too flat / repeated beat / unclear rule change

Relationship rule that changes:

Mini Example

Scene 1 carried consequence: she knows the apology was incomplete.

Scene 3 change: she stops accepting jokes as repair.

New relationship rule: care now requires action, not charm.

Revision Check

  • Each scene changes the relationship position.
  • The carried consequence evolves instead of repeating.
  • The pattern problem is named.
  • The new relationship rule is visible by the end.
