Time Skip & Transition Handler

Help me handle time transitions in my story.

Transition needed: [DESCRIBE THE TIME JUMP]
From: [STARTING POINT - SCENE/TIME]
To: [ENDING POINT - SCENE/TIME]
Time elapsed: [HOW MUCH TIME PASSES]
What's important: [KEY CHANGES DURING GAP]

Develop transition strategy:

1. TRANSITION TYPES
- Scene break (white space)
- Chapter break
- Summary bridge
- Cut with implied time
- Montage

2. WHAT TO SHOW
- Last moment before gap
- First moment after gap
- What reader needs to infer
- Changed details that signal time passed

3. SUMMARY VS. SCENE
- What happened (summary if needed)
- What changed (show don't tell)
- Character state differences
- World/situation changes

4. DISORIENTATION PREVENTION
- Time markers (natural, not clunky)
- Physical changes as cues
- Reference to elapsed events
- Character acknowledgment

5. SAMPLE TRANSITIONS
Write 3 different approaches to this specific transition:
- Seamless cut
- Brief summary bridge
- Evocative time marker

Include: Opening line after the jump that orients readers immediately.
