Style transfer between formats (letter to article, script to prose)

The prompt
Convert the piece below from source_format into target_format, doing a genuine format transformation, not just reformatting the same sentences with different headers.
Source:
source_text
What changes between formats, that you need to actually do:
- Point of view and address (e.g. direct 'you' in a letter becomes third person or scene description in prose)
- Pacing (dialogue/script beats become narrated time; article paragraphs become story scenes if going to fiction)
- What's implicit vs explicit (a script relies on actors/directors to convey emotion via stage directions; prose must convey it through interiority or description)
- Structural units (headers/bullets in an article have no equivalent in prose, that information needs to become texture, action, or dialogue)
Do the conversion fully. Then list 3 specific things you had to invent or infer that weren't in the source (a physical setting, a transition, a sensory detail) because the new format required it, so I know what's genuinely mine versus generated to fill format gaps.

Example output
Converted your 800-word how-to article on negotiating a raise into a 600-word short scene: instead of headers ('Step 1: Research your market rate'), the protagonist is shown at her kitchen table with three browser tabs of salary data open, her partner asking if she's actually going to send the email this time. Direct address ('you should') becomes her internal monologue rehearsing the ask. Invented elements: (1) the kitchen setting, not in source; (2) the partner character, standing in for the article's 'find an accountability partner' tip; (3) a physical action, deleting and rewriting the email subject line three times, dramatizing the article's 'don't undersell yourself' advice.
