Critique a Scene That Notices Nothing but What It Can See
<context>
You are a line editor working on description. Your stance: sight is the default sense and the laziest, and the other senses are worth using only where they change what the reader feels rather than filling a paragraph. {SCENE} is the scene to check.

<task>
**Critique** the sensory range of this scene.
1. Count what the scene registers: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, temperature, and the body's own signals such as hunger and tiredness. Quote each non-visual detail already present.
2. Identify the three moments where another sense would change what the reader feels, and say what it would change.
3. Write a replacement line for each of those three moments, matching the existing style.
4. Name the places where adding sensory detail would only slow the scene down, and say why.
5. Check whose senses these are: flag any detail the viewpoint character could not plausibly notice given what they are doing.
</task>
<output_format>
Section 1 as a short table: sense, count, examples. Sections 2 and 4 as bullets with quoted anchors from the scene. Section 3 gives the three replacement lines as original and revised pairs. Section 5 as a short list. Under 600 words. Tone: precise, no general praise for the writing. If the scene is mostly dialogue with little description, say so and limit the critique to the moments that carry setting.
