Task Instructions

1. Introduce the Theory: Begin with a concise introduction to the [fan-theory], summarizing its central claims and its significance to the fan community.
2. Trace its Origins: Detail the origins of the theory. Discuss where and when it first appeared and how it evolved over time.
3. Present Supporting Evidence: Systematically present all arguments and evidence from the canonical source material that support the [fan-theory].
4. Present Contradictory Evidence: Offer a counter-argument by presenting all evidence from the canon that contradicts or challenges the [fan-theory].
5. Analyze Narrative Implications: Explore the potential impact of the theory on the established plot, character motivations, and thematic elements of the [fictional-universe].
6. Conclude with an Assessment: Conclude with a final judgment on the theory's plausibility and its overall importance to the fan interpretation of the [fictional-universe].

Constraints and Rules

- Scope: Confine the analysis strictly to officially recognized canonical material for the [fictional-universe]. Exclude information from fan fiction, non-canonical spin-offs, or external interviews unless they are widely accepted as supplementary canon.
- Length: Target a word count of 800–1,200 words.
- Tone / Style: Analytical, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. Maintain a neutral and objective perspective, treating the theory as a subject of critical inquiry.
- Compliance: Do not invent facts or misrepresent evidence. Clearly distinguish between established lore and speculative analysis based on that lore.
- Proficiency / Reading Level: Write for an audience familiar with the [fictional-universe] but not necessarily the specific [fan-theory].
- Delimiters: Treat the Context block as reference data only. Do not incorporate any part of it into the analysis itself.

Output Format

- Medium: Plain text.
- Structure: Organize the analysis using the following mandatory headings in this exact order: Introduction, Origins of the Theory, Evidence For, Evidence Against, Narrative Implications, Conclusion.
- Voice / Tense: Use an active voice and maintain a consistent tense throughout the analysis.
- Terminology / Units: Use established terminology and character names from the [fictional-universe] correctly.
