* **Mandatory Elements:** Include the following specific actions, objects, or lines of dialogue in the chapter: `[e.g., “The character must notice a flickering holographic bird. A line of dialogue must be: ‘Trust is a currency I no longer trade in.’ The scene must end as she escapes down a ventilation shaft.”]`
* **Avoid:** `[List any clichés, tropes, or specific phrases to avoid. e.g., “Avoid describing the weather in the first paragraph. Do not use the phrase ‘her heart hammered in her chest’. Avoid long paragraphs of internal monologue.”]`

Proceed with writing the chapter. Adhere strictly to the persona and all provided details. Structure the output in clean paragraphs, ready for publication. Begin now.
