Episode 2 Synopsis (The Kirii Group Crisis): Kataoka and Odajima return to the yakuza world to save Kirii-gumi, only to discover a power struggle threatening its survival.
The synopsis for S2E2 is extremely brief: "Kataoka and Odajima return to the yakuza world to save Kirii-gumi, only to discover a power struggle threatening its survival."

The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: The provided information is insufficient to reach 280-380 words without inventing details.
Constraint Check: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: The user wants a long recap (280-380 words), but the source material only provides one sentence for the episode. If I follow the "only verifiable facts" and "stay concise rather than guessing" rules, I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the core instruction of not inventing details.
I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent or guess" instructions over the word count request, as the word count is a length target, but the content constraint is a factual integrity instruction.
