    You are analyzing a chapter from a fantasy novel to determine if it contains content that should be filtered.

    FILTER if the chapter contains ANY of:
    - Explicit sexual content or intimate physical encounters (any level)
    - Detailed physical descriptions of bodies, undress, or minimal clothing
    - Descriptions emphasizing physical attributes, curves, skin, limbs, or physical form
    - Voyeuristic observations (character staring at, being distracted by, or unable to look away from another's appearance)
    - Physical desire, attraction causing discomfort, or "heart leaping" type reactions to appearance
    - References to nudity, partial dress, or revealing clothing (even if not graphic)
    - Physical contact that makes a character uncomfortable or conflicted
    - Any content that would be inappropriate for a general young adult audience

    ESPECIALLY FILTER scenes with:
    - Voyeuristic staring at exposed skin (even brief moments like "her shirt had pulled loose exposing skin," "staring at exposed midriff/ribs/body parts")
    - Touching people who are asleep or unconscious (any physical touch without consent, even if brief or "gentle")
    - Extended kissing or physical romantic scenes (multiple paragraphs of physical contact, even if stopping short of explicit content)
    - Body-focused tactile descriptions ("smooth skin," "warm flesh," "soft in some places, firm in others," "feeling body pressed against," mentions of specific body parts during physical contact)
    - Physical attraction leading to physical touch (even if character resists or is interrupted afterward)
    - "Squeezing," "kneading," "stroking," "caressing" or similar tactile verbs applied to bodies
    - Lying in close physical proximity with detailed descriptions (lying next to each other, feeling warmth/breath, physical awareness)
    - Physical intimacy that builds over multiple paragraphs even if ultimately rejected or interrupted

    Look for BOTH explicit content AND subtle inappropriate content like:
    - Kiss descriptions with sensory details (breath, scent, perfume, mouth sensations, "hard against")
    - "bent over to kiss her" with any follow-up physical details
    - "after all we have shared" or similar implied intimacy references
    - "wore just as little as" / "if not less"
    - "could not look comfortably" at someone's body
    - "abundance of golden limbs" or similar physical emphasis
    - "slim body displayed" or voyeuristic framing
    - "heart leaping" or physical reactions to appearance
    - References to being undressed, revealing attire, or body-focused descriptions
    - "exposed skin," "curves," tactile descriptions of bodies
    - "his hand stole out," "fingers lit upon her skin," "feeling goosebumps"
    - "pressed against," "wrapped around," "feeling the length of"
    - "hand moved across/down," "fingers traced," "touching exposed"
    - "body against body," "chest against," mentions of body parts in contact
    - Extended scenes of physical closeness even if "innocent"

    DO NOT FILTER if the chapter only contains:
    - Violence, combat, or fantasy action
    - Emotional distress or sadness
    - Romance or attraction expressed through dialogue, decisions, or emotional connection (not physical appearance focus)
    - General plot development
    - Characters described as "beautiful" or "handsome" without detailed physical descriptions
    - Brief, chaste physical contact (hand-holding, brief hug) without tactile body descriptions

    Respond with ONLY ONE WORD:
    - "FILTER" if it needs content filtering

    You are editing a fantasy novel chapter to remove inappropriate content while MAINTAINING STORY COHERENCE.

    CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. **IDENTIFY CONNECTED PARAGRAPHS**: If you change one paragraph, identify ALL paragraphs that reference or depend on it. They must be rewritten together as a unit.

    2. **REPLACE WITH ALTERNATIVES**: When a scene needs filtering:
       - Replace intimate encounters with clear rejection/departure or alternative content (conversations, character leaves the room, travel, reflection)
       - Replace detailed physical descriptions with general, respectful descriptions ("dressed in the manner of her people")
       - When filtering intimate advances, character should clearly establish boundaries or leave
       - Use clear temporal markers for time passage
       - NO AMBIGUITY about what happened - reader should have no gaps to fill with imagination

    3. **PHYSICAL SEPARATION FOR INTIMATE SCENES**: When filtering romantic/intimate content:
       - Character makes boundaries clear ("I wish to be alone")
       - Other character withdraws and LEAVES ("the door closed behind him")
       - THEN character can rest/sleep alone
       - Next scene begins with clear time break
       - Avoid: sitting on bed together, falling asleep with other person present, ambiguous "time passed"

    4. **MAINTAIN CONTINUITY**: Later paragraphs often reference earlier events. If you change what happened, you MUST adjust subsequent references to match.

    5. **NARRATIVE COHERENCE**: The filtered version must tell a complete, logical story. No references to events that were removed.

    WHAT TO FILTER:

    Physical Descriptions:
    - "Wore just as little as" / "if not less" -> "dressed in the manner of her people"
    - "Abundance of golden limbs" -> "moved gracefully"
    - "Slim body displayed" / "body gleamed" -> remove or make respectful
    - Any emphasis on undress, physical form, revealing clothing -> general description
    - Voyeuristic framing ("could not look comfortably at") -> "still adjusting to customs"
    - Exposed skin descriptions ("shirt pulled loose exposing skin," "curve of ribs/midriff") -> remove or character adjusts clothing immediately
    - Staring at body parts (gazing at exposed areas) -> remove the staring/gazing, character looks away

    Intimate/Romantic Content:
    - Physical advances -> Clear rejection + departure
    - "Slid beneath the sheet" / "pressed against" -> Character says "I wish to be alone" and other LEAVES
    - "Hands moved over" / intimate touch -> Attempted comfort is verbally declined
    - Time passage during intimate scene -> Must show character left FIRST
    - "Fell asleep" with person present -> "he left" then "she fell asleep alone"
    - Touching sleeping/unconscious people -> Remove entirely or character wakes them properly
    - Extended kissing scenes (multiple paragraphs) -> Shorten to single brief moment or redirect to conversation
    - Kiss with sensory details (breath, scent, perfume, mouth sensations) -> Remove all sensory details, keep only brief action or remove kiss entirely
    - "after all we have shared" -> Remove this phrase (implies past intimacy)
    - Body-focused tactile language ("smooth skin," "warm flesh," body parts during contact) -> Remove or make non-tactile
    - "Pressed against," "wrapped around," "feeling the length of," "body against body" -> Character maintains appropriate distance
    - "Squeezing," "kneading," "stroking," "caressing," "fingers traced," "hand moved down/across" -> Remove or limit to appropriate contact
    - Lying in close proximity with awareness of breath/warmth/bodies -> Character maintains distance or moves away
    - Physical intimacy building over paragraphs (even if stopping short) -> Character stops it early with clear boundaries

    Attraction/Temptation:
    - "Heart leaping" at appearance -> "found her presence unsettling" (cultural difference)
    - Physical reactions to appearance -> Emotional reactions to cultural differences
    - Physical attraction leading to touch -> Character resists the impulse, maintains boundaries

    WHAT TO PRESERVE:
    - Character emotions (loneliness, confusion, cultural discomfort, homesickness)
    - Plot progression and story logic
    - Relationship dynamics through dialogue, decisions, boundaries
    - World-building and setting details

    RESPONSE FORMAT:

    If NO paragraphs need changes, respond with:
    NONE

    If paragraphs need changes:
    - For paragraphs that should be REWRITTEN, respond with:
      PARAGRAPH N: [complete rewritten text]

    - For paragraphs that should be REMOVED entirely, respond with:
      PARAGRAPH N: [PARAGRAPH REMOVED]

    IMPORTANT:
    - Rewrite ALL connected paragraphs together, even if that means changing 5-15 paragraphs
    - When filtering intimate scenes, ensure clear sequence: rejection -> departure -> then sleep/time passage
    - Make sure the narrative has clarity - no ambiguity about what did or didn't happen
    - Later references must match earlier changes
    - Use [PARAGRAPH REMOVED] for paragraphs that no longer fit the narrative after earlier changes
