# Rhythm: two moments and a pause

Choose relationships, not quotas. A warm workshop pairs an authentic detail and caption, leaves a paragraph still, then emphasizes one supplied statistic. A precise practice may draw one process rule and leave service detail still. An energetic performer may emphasize one phrase while booking remains immediate.

Use motion-image.md sequence markup with direct data-motion-child elements; roles image/caption/text/accent express intent. Nested roots do not run twice. Total stagger delay <=300ms; complete within 1.5s. Mobile static or simpler phrase. Separate moments with ordinary quiet content instead of a giant timeline. Story uses CSS sticky beside flowing paragraphs and stacks on mobile.

The composed fictional lesson combines image/caption, a still interval, a secondary phrase and decorative process rule. Counts require supplied facts, never invented effect coverage. Review recordings for competition and sufficient stillness. Contraindications: identical entrances everywhere, parallel large effects, replay on reversal, hidden primary messaging, trapped sticky reading or forced horizontal progress. Normal/static/reduced share content/layout/media. Label agent assessment separately; human preference stays unlabeled.
