Typically, when we refer to a scene, we’re talking about it in a classic, strict sense: as a story-relevant event that unfolds in real time. Ultimately, the events of the scene challenge the protagonist, leading to a revelation, reaction, or decision that affects the story. The challenge here is obvious.
