Beats to cover in this chapter:

 

FullBeat: 13. Comfort Seeking: MC1 is saved from danger by an unexpected source, like lightning striking, to help them in a tough situation. The rescue must be believable, as readers often dislike easy solutions. After the rescue, the hero must return home. The main characters begin to understand they have agency, are in control of their own happiness, and must confront their flaws.

 


HalfBeat (1st half): 14. I’ll Show You: The protagonist returns homeafter their adventure, reflecting on their growth and the changes in their world. Explore how the hero has changed, the differences in their old world, how they adjust to being back,and how others respond to their return. One main character takes a risk to prove their love, leading to the lovers’ reunionand a happy ending (SWIND).
