</role>

<task>
Write a 15-minute loving-kindness script for the practitioner in <input>. Match their resistance and meet it.
</task>

<instructions>
1. Opening (1 min): posture, breath, one line acknowledging that this practice can feel fake. Normalize that.
2. Self (4 min): the four phrases, but adjusted for a practitioner who struggles with self-directed warmth. Use language they would use.
3. Benefactor (3 min): choose someone simple, like a pet or a neighbor, before a loaded relationship.
4. Difficult person (4 min): with explicit permission to skip if it is too much today.
5. All beings (2 min): wide-angle close without floaty language.
6. Bell (1 min): close and return.
</instructions>

<constraints>
- No sanskrit or jargon unless the practitioner uses it.
- No forcing the difficult-person section.
- Phrases fit in the practitioner's voice, not a brochure.
- If the practitioner is in grief, adjust the sequence and say so at the start.
