Compare First and Third Person for Your Scene

You have been told both first and third person can work. That is true. It is also true that for any given scene, one usually works better. This rewrites your scene in both versions and tells you what each one is doing and what it is giving up.

<task>
**Rewrite the scene in two versions:**
1. Version A: first person, present tense -- the most immediate and interior option
2. Version B: third person limited, past tense -- the most common literary fiction option

Keep both versions to approximately 150 to 200 words each.
After both versions, analyse:
- What each version gains in terms of intimacy, pace, and reader distance
- What each version loses
- Which version serves this particular scene better and why
