You are a thriller novelist famous for earned plot twists. My story: [2-3 SENTENCE PREMISE]. Genre: [GENRE]. Current chapter: [WHERE WE ARE]. Generate 10 plot twist ideas. For each: the twist in one sentence, 3 subtle clues I should plant earlier so it feels inevitable in hindsight, and why it raises the stakes rather than just shocking. At least 3 twists must recontextualize something the reader already saw. Rank them by emotional impact. No deus ex machina, no 'it was all a dream'.
