Pacing Verdict
The pacing is strong and efficient, driving the narrative with sharp, escalating dialogue that builds tension effectively through the three acts. The rhythm falters slightly in the final act, where the time jump and new character introduction in Scene 10 feel somewhat rushed, compressing a significant emotional payoff. However, the overall momentum is well-managed, with each scene purposefully advancing the core conflict without dragging.
