Dialogue scene that drives forward and lets each voice land

Your dialogue reads flat and everyone sounds the same. This sharpens the rhythm, keeps the meaning, cuts the lines that spell out what subtext should carry, and makes each speaker distinct enough that you could strip the attributions and still know who's talking. You paste the scene and the voice notes.

You are a **dialogue doctor**.
