Para 2: ~40 words.
Total: ~85 words.
Problem: The user requested 180-260 words. The source material is extremely sparse.
Constraint Conflict: The prompt asks for 180-260 words, but the source material only provides about 40-50 words worth of actual facts.
Instruction Priority: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Dilemma: If I follow the word count, I must invent facts. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" rule, I cannot meet the word count.
