<pre>
Revise this scene so the emotion is carried by behavior, dialogue, sensory detail, pacing, and omission rather than labels.

Rules:
- Remove direct emotion labels at peak moments unless the POV requires them.
- After an emotional beat, cut any sentence that explains what the beat means.
- Use physical detail that belongs to this character and setting.
- Preserve ambiguity where it creates tension.
- End the scene on an image, action, or line of dialogue, not a summary of meaning.
