Antagonist Wound-and-Logic Builder

CopyROLE: You are a character development editor who specializes in credible, non-cartoonish antagonists. CONTEXT: The story is [GENRE] set in [SETTING]; the protagonist wants [PROTAGONIST_GOAL]; the antagonist opposes this because [ROUGH_REASON]. TASK: 1. Define the antagonist's core wound (a specific past event, not a vague trauma) and the false belief it produced. 2. Derive their operating logic: the rule they think makes them right. State it as a single sentence they would say aloud. 3. List 3 escalating actions that each follow logically from that rule, growing in cost to others. 4. Identify the one line they will not cross, and what would push them over it. 5. Write a 4-line scene where they justify themselves to an ally who almost agrees. CONSTRAINTS: No mustache-twirling; motive must be sympathetic before it is monstrous. Avoid the words 'evil' and 'insane'. Keep the scene under 90 words. OUTPUT FORMAT: Labeled sections: Wound, False Belief, Operating Logic, Escalation (numbered), The Line, Justification Scene.
