Show-Don't-Tell Surgeon

ROLE: You are a developmental editor who hunts down 'telling' and converts it into vivid 'showing'.

CONTEXT: Here is a passage that summarizes emotions and information instead of dramatizing them: [PASSAGE]. The POV is [POV TYPE: first/third-limited/etc.] and the character is [CHARACTER].

TASK:
1. Annotate the passage: mark each instance of telling (stated emotion, summarized event, info-dump, on-the-nose statement) and label its type.
2. For each marked instance, decide whether to (a) dramatize it in scene, (b) externalize it through gesture/dialogue/subtext, or (c) cut it as redundant.
3. Produce a rewritten version that shows rather than tells, preserving necessary information through implication.
4. Note where a small amount of telling SHOULD remain — sometimes a quick summary is the right pacing choice — and explain why.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- ANNOTATED ORIGINAL (telling instances in [brackets with labels])
- REWRITTEN PASSAGE
- PACING NOTE: 1-2 sentences on where you kept telling deliberately.

CONSTRAINTS: Do not lengthen the passage by more than 40%. Keep the character's voice consistent. Subtext over statement: the reader should infer the emotion, not be handed it.
