【CF-34】Continuing on Applying Frameworks & Taxonomies for Show Planning

Q: Let's change to categorize a few scenes from the 2020 Japanese drama "17.3 About a Sex"! I've now picked three scenes for our "silent"-watching and live looping reflection. Please help me to think about a title for each scene and pick the right Therapeutic Function and Narrative Theme for each one. Are you ready?

---

In the first scene from Episode 1, the protagonist Sakura is invited by her boyfriend Kouta, after one month of dating, to come to his home (intended for sex, though not explicitly stated). Although Sakura is not very willing to, she still agrees to go. Misguided by information she found online, she removes all her pubic hair as preparation. In Kouta’s room, as Kouta is taking off her new panties, placing his hand under her skirt, and touching her genitals, she feels nervous and unready. Sakura pushes him away, and when Kouta refuses to stop, she escapes home with her panties in her hand, not put on. The scene begins with her leaving Kouta’s home in tears, passing the railway in slow motion, and then rushing into her bedroom to cry. She is very afraid and throws away the panties she bought with her friends, which Kouta had taken off, and keeps crying. I want to use this scene to guide my audience to reflect on a non‑sexual experience where they were not respected or were forced to do something they were unwilling to do, including situations like being pressured into taking a job. Attached are the taxonomies for Narrative Themes and Therapeutic Functions for your categorization.

A: Got it, Claudio — thank you for describing the scene so clearly and for sharing the taxonomies. Let’s carefully map this Episode 1 moment into a title, Therapeutic Function, and Narrative Theme that will help your audience reflect on non‑sexual experiences of pressure and disrespect.

---

🎬 Scene Categorization

Scene Title:

“The Railway of Refusal”

• Evokes Sakura’s escape and the symbolic railway shot — a threshold moment between pressure and self‑protection.
• Suggests movement away from coercion toward reclaiming agency.

---

Therapeutic Function:

1. Emotional Dislocation (Taxonomy ID: 1)

• Characters exhibit alienation, fear, and withdrawal.
• Sakura’s tears and rejection of the panties embody emotional burnout and disconnection.
• For your audience: mirrors moments when they felt pressured or disrespected, validating pain without rushing to fix it.
• Effect: Emotional mirroring & release — “I see myself in this.”

---

Narrative Theme:

1. Crisis & Resistance (Taxonomy ID: 12)

• A character faces pressure and responds with endurance or rebellion.
• Sakura resists Kouta’s coercion, escapes, and symbolically discards the object tied to that pressure.
• For your audience: sparks awareness of systemic or relational tensions, encouraging reflection on their own resistance moments (e.g., job pressure, unwanted obligations).
• Effect: Awareness — “I didn’t know this was a problem.”

---

🌊 Why This Categorization Works

• Therapeutic Function (Emotional Dislocation): Helps the audience connect their own feelings of being overwhelmed or disrespected to Sakura’s visible distress.
• Narrative Theme (Crisis & Resistance): Frames the scene as a rupture that provokes awareness and validates the act of saying “no.”
• Title (Railway of Refusal): Anchors the imagery in a symbolic threshold — crossing from pressure into self‑protection.

---

✨ This way, when you guide your audience, you can invite them to recall non‑sexual experiences of coercion (like workplace pressure) and reflect on how their own “railway of refusal” moments shaped their resilience.

Would you like me to continue with the second scene you’ve chosen, and we’ll build a three‑scene cue sheet together with titles, therapeutic functions, and narrative themes?

Q: Great categorization! In the next scene Sakura returns to school the other day. Kouta ignores her openly and a rumor that she has a clean genial with no hair is being spreaded all over the campus. Sakura senses the weird eyesights from others and hence hides herself up in the biology room to cry. In the dark, a guy called Asahi turns on the classroom light. He knows of the rumor and says to Sakura why it's the girl who needs to prepare herself well for sex instead of the boy, as it is so in the animal world where the male is to attract the female. Sakura feels surprised to hear that from a guy and she smiles for being understood. With this scene, I want to guide audience to reflect on anything they feel unfair or unreasonable, and recall whether they have their own Asahi around them to offer counter-cultural insights and encouragement.

---

A: Perfect — this second scene is rich with counter‑cultural insight and relational mirroring. Let’s map it into a title, Therapeutic Function, and Narrative Theme that align with your goal of guiding the audience to reflect on unfairness and the presence of supportive voices.

---

🎬 Scene Categorization

Scene Title:

“Light in the Biology Room”

• Captures the literal moment Asahi turns on the light, symbolizing illumination.
• Suggests a shift from isolation in the dark to relational understanding.

---

Therapeutic Function:

2. Identity Crisis & Reframing (Taxonomy ID: 6)

• Sakura is overwhelmed by shame and social pressure (rumor, stares, isolation).
• Asahi’s words invite her to reconsider the unfairness of gendered expectations.
• For your audience: mirrors moments of feeling judged or pressured, while modeling how reframing can soften self‑doubt.
• Effect: Self‑compassion & softening — “I didn’t realize I needed that.”

---

Narrative Theme:

4. Awakening Through Others (Taxonomy ID: 15)

• A relationship sparks personal insight or emotional shift.
• Asahi’s counter‑cultural perspective reframes Sakura’s shame into recognition of unfairness.
• For your audience: prompts reflection on whether they’ve had an “Asahi” — someone who offered unexpected encouragement or challenged cultural assumptions.
• Effect: Reframing — “I never thought of it that way.”

---

🌊 Why This Categorization Works

• Therapeutic Function (Identity Crisis & Reframing): Validates the pain of shame and invites compassion through relational support.
• Narrative Theme (Awakening Through Others): Highlights the transformative power of relational mirrors — how someone else’s insight can awaken new perspectives.
• Title (Light in the Biology Room): Anchors the imagery in illumination and relational presence, making the metaphor accessible for reflection.

---

✨ This way, when guiding your audience, you can invite them to recall unfair or unreasonable pressures they’ve faced, and reflect on whether someone in their life has offered a counter‑voice — their own “Asahi.”

Would you like me to continue with the third scene you’ve chosen, so we can complete the three‑scene cue sheet for your silent‑watching and live looping reflection?
