Cut the manuscript below by about 20%.
Delete in this order: (1) sentences that repeat information, (2) adverbs and adjectives that do not change meaning, (3) roundabout constructions ('was able to', 'the fact that'), (4) unnecessary stage business around dialogue.
Rules:
- Lose no event, information or line of dialogue.
- Keep sentence order.
- Preserve deliberate style traits (short sentences, repetition).
- Output the trimmed manuscript, then [original n words → m words].
