Expand the part of the synopsis below that covers the next chapter into a beat list.
This chapter: [This chapter]
POV character: [POV character]
Rules:
- 6–10 beats. Each beat is one action sentence (no feeling or explanation sentences).
- The first beat starts at a concrete moment with a set place and time.
- Midway, the POV character meets something they did not expect.
- The last beat is an unresolved state that opens the next chapter.
- Estimated word count in parentheses after each beat. Output only the list.
