Developing Plot from Core Ideas (LAPS SEE)

Use 'Liquid Networks' to connect the three characters' separate backstories into sources of present-day friction.

Use 'Adjacent Possible' to expand the vee plot incrementally as new emotional territory becomes available to the characters.

Use 'Platforms' to establish relationship agreements or social norms that enable or constrain the characters' actions.

Use 'Slow Hunches' to develop tension through the hinge's gradually revealed deeper motivations.

Use 'Serendipity' to introduce an unexpected encounter that escalates friction between the husband and the new lover.

Use 'Error' to turn a character's mistake into a catalyst for escalating conflict.

Use 'Exaptation' to repurpose a story element from its original role into an unexpected source of tension.

Outline a pivotal scene for the vee story integrating at least three LAPS SEE techniques as sources of friction.
