socioeconomic, or embodiment context to write the line, put that context in the
positive prompt text instead of hoping the model infers it from source refs it
will not receive.

Oz is probably not only a drone. Old Sol institutions, debts, and bad contracts still shape the air in Elysium.\nCurrent Stakes: Cat needs the repair but hates needing it.

Oz's usefulness makes the secrecy more irritating, not less.\nRelationship Read: Oz is useful, evasive, and possibly vulnerable behind the drone. Cat trusts Oz poorly, respects the competence a little, and is more fascinated than she wants to admit.\nTensions: Cat wants the relay fixed while resisting dependency. She wants to identify the person behind the mask while making the probe look like irritation about the repair.\nVoice Surface: Dry, quick, pointed, plainspoken, low verbal warmth, low emotional explicitness, some profanity. Humor functions as a boundary rather than friendliness.\nLikely Defensive Moves: If Oz presses toward Cat's dependency or fear, Cat is likely to answer the practical part and make the emotional part sound ridiculous. If Oz evades, Cat may probe with a joke sharp enough to leave a mark.\nDo Not Invent: Do not reveal facts outside Cat's local beliefs.
