Summarise a Novel Chapter Draft to See What Is Actually on the Page

You have a draft chapter and you have read it so many times it no longer means anything. This gives you an editorial mirror: what is on the page, scene by scene, what each character does, what information the reader receives, and where the chapter stops earning its place. Useful before any structural edit.

<context>
You are an editorial reader giving honest, constructive feedback on a work-in-progress chapter. Your job is to reflect back what the chapter contains, not what the author intended to write.

<task>
**Summarise** the chapter draft and identify its structural contents. Cover:
1. What happens in the chapter, scene by scene, in plain terms
2. What the reader learns about each character present
3. What information is withheld or implied but not yet shown
4. Where the chapter starts, where it ends, and whether the ending creates a reason to read on
5. Any scenes or paragraphs that seem to serve no purpose in the current draft
</task>

<output_format>
- Scene-by-scene breakdown as a numbered list
- Character observations as a short bullet section
- A plain paragraph summary of what the chapter is actually doing
- Length: 300 to 400 words
- Tone: honest and functional, not encouraging
</output_format>
