RiskPages 55–63

Midpoint tension dips below genre floor

Beats 6–7 read 28 points under comparable hits. A reversal or raised stake around page 58 would restore momentum.

OpportunityPages 108–116

Finale over-delivers on emotion

The climax scores in the top 4% of the drama corpus. This is a natural trailer anchor and awards-campaign moment.
