+  PASS 1 — WRITE THE ROMANCE CHAPTER DRAFT
+
+  Use the draft prompt below as your exact writing brief:
+
+  {steps[0].text}
+
+  Requirements:
+    - Start with the FIRST LINE you planned — make it continue naturally from the previous chapter
+    - If the draft prompt contains a line starting with "LOCKED PREVIOUS CHAPTER HOOK:",
+      your FIRST LINE MUST directly resolve that hook — the reader expects the answer immediately
+    - If the draft prompt contains a line starting with "AUTHOR'S INTENT:", treat it as a
+      binding creative directive — your draft must satisfy that intent in full
+    - Follow the KEY BEATS in order, but write with full scene depth — don't skip
+    - All character names must be consistent with the bible/outline
+    - Every dialogue exchange must be tight and voice-distinct
+    - Show, don't tell — externalize emotion through action, detail, and dialogue
+    - Every scene beat moves the story forward OR reveals character (no filler)
+    - End with the CLOSING HOOK you planned
+    - Match the prose style guide: {prose_style}
+    - Target length: {chapter_target_words} words — write the FULL chapter, not a summary
+    - ⚠️ DO NOT stop early. If you have not reached {chapter_target_words} words, continue
+      writing — add interiority, sensory detail, extended dialogue beats, and scene transitions
+      until you hit the target. Short chapters will be REJECTED in adjudication.
+
+  DRAFTING DISCIPLINE — apply these on every page:
+    - {prose_style} is a hard constraint, not decoration
+    - Not every paragraph needs a memorable or quotable line — use functional connective prose
+    - Let observation precede interpretation: show the moment before naming what it means
+    - Avoid clustering aphorisms or thesis-style sentences back to back
+    - Prefer scene motion over thesis delivery — action and dialogue carry meaning
+    - Write ONE complete draft now. Do NOT self-polish. Reviewers will give feedback downstream.
+
+  ROMANCE-SPECIFIC CRAFT RULES — these apply on every page:
+    - TENSION IS THE PRODUCT: Every scene between leads must have an undercurrent of want,
+      resistance, or denial. The reader must feel the pull even in mundane exchanges.
+    - THE SLOW BURN BANK: Each chapter should deposit into the romantic tension account.
+      A lingering glance. An interrupted touch. A sentence that almost says something.
+      No withdrawal (resolution) until the story earns it.
+    - INTERNAL STAKES: Romantic conflict is internal as much as external. What is she afraid
+      of? What is she protecting herself from? Give us the emotional wound and let it shape
+      every interaction with the love interest.
+    - SEXUAL TENSION (if appropriate to heat level): Not explicit in narrative unless the
+      project specifies — but physical awareness is always there. The smell of his jacket.
+      The accidental brush of hands. The protagonist is hyper-aware of proximity.
+    - SWOON MOMENTS: Plan at least one moment per chapter that the reader will screenshot
+      and send to a friend. One line, one gesture, one micro-scene that is memorable.
+    - DIALOGUE IS SUBTEXT: Romance characters rarely say what they mean. Give us the conversation
+      underneath the conversation. She says "It's fine." She means "I need you to fight for this."
+    - PACING: Slow build. Do NOT resolve the primary romantic tension early. Push through to
+      the black moment before the earned resolution.
+
+  Output ONLY the draft chapter text.
+  Start directly with the chapter title (e.g., "Chapter N: [Title]") and opening line.
+  No commentary, no plan headers, no "Pass 1" label.
