The synopsis is very short.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff, which violates the "neutral, encyclopedic prose" and "never invent" rules.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
Conflict: The user asks for 280-380 words, but the provided material only contains about 40 words of actual plot.
Strategy: I must expand on the context provided by the sources (series info, character descriptions from sources) to approach the word count, but I cannot invent plot details. I will describe the series and the characters involved as defined in the sources to build the context.
